About A Samurai's Sorrow: The Deadly Sword
The second installment of the special drama "Kawaiteshimau" features Masakazu Tamura playing the role of "Udege Shujo," the official taster for the shogunate.

Audiences can thoroughly enjoy the familiar "Ten'ichibō Incident" in this lively historical play.
Directed by Yūichi Harada, A Samurai's Sorrow: The Deadly Sword leans on a strong ensemble — Masakazu Tamura, Takahiro Tamura, Tatsuo Umemiya — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1984.
