A blind man seeks revenge against the psychopath who took away his sight and slaughtered his wife and daughter. Eight years after the massacre, the man has returned to the desert town, now a highly trained samurai swordsman ready to seek justice. But he doesn't know there awaits seven assassins hired by his sworn enemy who want the bounty on his head. Set in nowhere, no time, this bloody modern day fable is a new age hybrid action film with a classic samurai essence and a spaghetti western spirit. This is, "Sushi Western!"

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Kurando Mitsutake also stars as Blind Wolfe and did his own sword stunts despite having no formal martial arts background prior to filming.
The 'Sushi Western' label was Mitsutake's direct homage to Takashi Miike's Sukiyaki Western Django, itself a tribute to Sergio Leone's Italian Westerns that borrowed from Kurosawa—a complete cultural ouroboros.
