There are plenty of twists and turns to the plot as the fortune-teller turns out to be more than he seems. Starring Amachi Shigeru, one of Japan's most ren-owned sword actors as Karasudo, who charges 16 mon for his fortune-telling skill, but asks for nothing when it comes to swordplay.

An unusual and entertaining story, about a man not to be trifled with!
