Summary:
A professional extra named Kamiyama (Seizo Fukumoto) has devoted 50 years of his life as a kirare-yaku in sword-fighting movies produced at Kyoto's Uzumasa Studios. A master of the art, he lives to die or more exactly "to be cut" and show a beautiful, spectacular death on screen. Now an elderly man, Kamiyama lives very modestly but has earned immense respect from his peers, some of them movie stars (Hiroki Matsukata). When the studio where he works decides to discontinue its chanbara productions, Kamiyama finds himself at a loss. Hope arrives in the form of a young girl named Satsuki (Chihiro Yamamoto), who soon becomes Kamiyama's disciple. Will the art of dying by the sword live on?
