About Baian Fujieda the Assassin
An adaptation of the Shotaro Ikenami novels, set in the historical Edo period, and centered on Fujieda Bayan, a medicine man and doctor by day, but ruthless killer for hire by night. His tools of the trade are the same in either job: acupuncture needles that leave no trace.
Directed by Toru Hayashi, Baian Fujieda the Assassin leans on a strong ensemble — Goro Kishitani, Fumiyo Kohinata, Ryuji Harada — 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 drama titles of 2006.
