Japanese <i>jidai-geki</i> (period films). The first film out of 29 Japanese titles was directed by MISUMI Kenji and released in 1962. The series gained so much popularity that it was later remade in the USA. Despite being blind, Zatoichi is an accomplished
sword fighter who beats many villains, and is inspiring enough to capture the hearts of even contemporary film makers such as KITANO Takeshi and MIIKE Takashi. Although adapted from literature and supposedly modelled on a real person, the film’s version of
the character is far from the original influences. It was certainly the popularity of the films that pushed
<i>Zatoichi</i> into the limelight. How was this blind hero invented and what factored into his success?</span><u></u><u></u></p>

and the cultural context. Together with <b>Dr Dolores Martinez </b>and <b>Dr Jasper Sharp</b>, the talk will also explore the representation of Zatoichi as a hero who is blind and why such a character is frequently portrayed within
<i>jidai-geki </i>films and TV shows; while also considering the other examples of blind people in Japanese film and culture. </span><u></u><u></u></p>
