Restoration Fire (1961)

Overview: Megastar Kataoka Chiezo is Vice-commander Hijikata Toshizo of the Shinsengumi in this realistic tale of Japan’s inner battles that led to the downfall of the Tokugawa shogunate. Excellent performances and extremely good swordplay highlight this glimpse into the heart and soul of Japanese history. Although known as “Razor Blade” Hijikata the vice-commander is a man of deep conviction with a little-known sense of humanity. Starting after the famed Ikedaya Incident in which they saved Kyoto from Choshu’s plot to burn the city to ashes they work hard to change the public’s view of them as merciless killers to their true mission of protecting the shogun. This is an extraordinary tale of blood and guts! From the pen of award winning author Shotaro Ikenami (Bandit Vs. Samurai Hunter in the Dark Misumi's The Last Samurai)
