Description
Seibei Iguchi’s wife dies of tuberculosis during the last days of the Tokugawa period. Seibei is a low-income samurai of the lowest rank and lives in poor conditions. To pay for his wife’s funeral, he was even forced to dispose of a samurai’s most prized possession: his sword. Seibei is called “The Twilight Samurai” by his work colleagues because he always goes home immediately after work to take care of his two daughters.
One day, Seibei meets his old childhood friend Michinojo Iinuma, who tells him that his sister Tomoe – Seibei’s childhood friend – has returned as a divorced woman after her husband abused her. When Seibei is at Michinojo’s home one evening, Tomoe’s ex-husband is also present and challenges Michinojo to a duel. Seibei accepts instead of Michinojo, as he is the much better swordsman. Since he has sold his sword, he only competes with a bamboo sword but still wins the duel. To show appreciation, Tomoe takes care of Seibei’s daughters and helps out with his household.
Although it should remain a secret, the clan chief has learned of Seibei’s victory in the duel and orders him to kill the renegade samurai Yogo. Seibei reluctantly bows to the order, as it conforms to the samurai’s code of honour. This time the duel is about life and death …

Während der letzten Tage der Tokugawa-Zeit stirbt die Frau von Seibei Iguchi an Schwindsucht. Seibei ist ein Samurai des niedrigsten Ranges mit geringem Verdienst und lebt in ärmlichen Verhältnissen. Um die Beerdigung seiner Frau zu bezahlen, war er sogar gezwungen, den wertvollsten Besitz eines Samurais zu veräußern: sein Schwert. Seibei wird von seinen Arbeitskollegen immer »Samurai der Dämmerung« genannt, da er nach Feierabend immer sofort zurück nach Hause geht, um sich um seine beiden Töchter zu kümmern.
Eines Tages begegnet Seibei seinem alten Jugendfreund Michinojo Iinuma, welcher ihm erzählt, dass seine Schwester Tomoe – Seibeis Kindheitsfreundin – als geschiedene Frau zurückgekehrt ist, nachdem ihr Mann sie misshandelt hatte. Als Seibei eines Abends bei Michinojo zu Hause ist, ist auch Tomoes Exmann zugegen und fordert Michinojo zum Duell heraus. Seibei nimmt an Michinojos statt das Duell an, da er der deutlich bessere Schwertkämpfer ist. Da er sein Schwert verkauft hat, tritt er lediglich mit einem Bambusschwert an, aber dennoch gewinnt er das Duell. Als Dank kümmert sich Tomoe fortan um Seibeis Töchter und hilft in seinem Haushalt mit.
Obwohl es eigentlich geheim bleiben sollte, hat das Clanoberhaupt von Seibeis Sieg in dem Duell erfahren und befiehlt ihm, den abtrünnigen Samurai Yogo zu töten. Widerwillig beugt sich Seibei dem Befehl, da es dem Ehrenkodex der Samurai entspricht. Dieses Mal geht es in dem Duell um Leben und Tod …
