- AnecdotesThe "mon" coins used by the gamblers were made of either copper or iron and were the lowest-denomination currency in Japan until the yen system was established in 1870. The "ryo" paid to Zatoichi were gold and were worth many thousands of "mon." The Currency Museum of the Bank of Japan estimates that one "ryo" would be worth roughly $1200 to $1300 now.
- GaffesIn the moonlit scene by the pond, Tane tells Zatoichi that she has a facial mole exactly like his. But neither character has any such mole.

Tane: You have a mole here. I wonder if it's a lucky mole. I have one just like it. They say it means I'll have lots of children.
Zatôichi: It's a lucky mole.
Tane: What would I do with so many children.
Zatôichi: Just don't raise them to be yakuza.
Tane: I won't. But why do you say that?
Zatôichi: Because to be a yakuza is a foolish way to live.
Tane: Then why don't you live a decent life?
Zatôichi: It's like being stuck in a bog. It's not easy to pull yourself out once you've fallen in.

Others have described this movie well, so, I will only add something that I noticed while watching the scene of Ichi fishing with the ailing samurai. What made the scene so compelling was not what was said, but, the effective use of silence between them. The pauses in dialog were masterful, especially the long lull at the end of the sequence. It reminded me of some of Kurosawa's work.
I recommend this movie, not as the first Zatoichi that you see; but, rather as something to experience after a few of the more exciting movies...after you've developed a relationship with the character.
