is a 1973 feature-length Japanese film directed by Kon Ichikawa. It is set during the early nineteenth century in rural Japan.
Set in feudal Japan; Genta, Shuita, and Mokutaro are three "toseinin", errant swordsmen for hire.
A retrospective review states:"The Wanderers is a great film and one deserving more attention. It balances out being darkly funny and poignant with the world and characters it presents. The gritty, low-budget filmmaking mixed with some fine performances makes for a viewing experience that is disturbing yet bizarrely engaging."
