Set in an alternate Japan, where modern technology meets an ancient legend, samurai outlaw Jigoku (Masahiro Takashima) and his motley band of renegades discover the keys to a mythical kingdom of gold. Unfortunately for them, they also attract the attention of a beautiful female bounty hunter, Yuri the Pistol (Narumi Yasuda), an ace gunslinger who soon gets hot on their tail. With supernatural ninja warriors, astonishingly choreographed sword play and wildly unpredictable plot twists, 'Zipang' is a Japanese fantasy epic in a class all of its own.
