Another excellent Zatoichi movie

Zatoichi takes on a corrupt law officer and a group desperate fugitives. There is humor, and plenty of action. See Ichi take on an assassin with a gun!

There isn't much to make this one stand out from the other later Zatoichi films, but it does have Takashi Shimura in a supporting role.
