About the work

Blue Eye Samurai

In a Japan that has sealed its borders, a mixed-race swordsmith passing as a man hunts the four white men still in the country, one of whom is her father and all of whom made her existence a crime. Adult animation shot like a samurai film, about being unwanted by both halves of your own ancestry.
