Ichi (Haruka Ayase) is a blind minstrel wandering from town to town in feudal Japan. She is spurred on by her search for the blind warrior who trained her in martial arts as a child. When she is threatened by a group of bandits, Toma (Takao Osawa), an incompetent samurai tries to help her, but is unable to draw his sword. Rescuing her rescuer, she continues her journey, only to discover that the locals now think that Toma is a superb swordsman.
