Samurai Trilogy 2: Duel at Ichijoji Temple

Just into the opening scene, solo samurai Musashi (Toshiro Mifune) awaits a big fight with a guy (Eijiro Tono), who turns out to be a big-name samurai himself, early in the second film in Hiroshi Inagaki's trilogy, Samurai 2: Duel At Ichijoji Temple, 1956.

Scene between the two female protagonists who have never met, Otsu (Kaoru Yachigusa) selling fans on a Kyoto bridge, hoping to meet her lost samurai lover, and Akemi (Mariko Okada) who has been vying for his affections, in Hiroshi Inagaki's Samurai 2: Duel At Ichijoji Temple, 1956.

Semi-fugitive Musashi (Toshiro Mifune) is turned away by sword repairman Kogure (Machiko Kitagawa), who turns out to have been bluffing anyway, in the second film in Hiroshi Inagaki's trilogy, Samurai 2: Duel At Ichijoji Temple, 1956.
