About Yagyu Secret Scrolls: Ninjitsu - Part II
In the Tokugawa Era, the clan of Lord Yagyu has hidden away three scrolls containing clan secrets which, if revealed, would cause revolution and disaster for the clan. The information is divided among the three scrolls, all of which must be possessed for the secrets to be understood. When Princess Yuhime steals the scrolls, Tasaburo, a samurai with magical powers, and his brother Senshiro are sent to retrieve them. In Part II, the search for the scrolls continues.
Directed by Hiroshi Inagaki, Yagyu Secret Scrolls: Ninjitsu - Part II leans on a strong ensemble — Koji Tsuruta, Toshirō Mifune, Nobuko Otowa — 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 1958.
