The Samurai (1962)

Mysterious Pilgrims (3x8)

:

The Tokaido divides at Kakegawa, the 27th station, into two parallel roads. Genkurō is not sure which one Sadanobu will take but becomes suspicious when a box of pilgrims' clothes is found at the inn Sadanobu's party is staying at. Gensai suggests they attack both roads. They think they have found Sadanobu disguised as a komusō (itinerant flute-playing priest), having found a group of pilgrims to be what just that. But all is not what it seems.
