Excellent old school chambara(swordplay) film set as samaurai class slide to oblivion & proto-yakuza gang/gamnbing era starts. IMHO has comment on corruption of samurai class with only person maintaining any semblance of ethics = lead (anti)hero. Not totally sword based, a trace of romance + the significance of "dad", with comment mentioned above. Some neat (wry) interplay between hero & other male lead & latter's sometime offsider. Tho has strong (for time) female part, is a "man's" film. Yes.
