Synopsis

In ancient Japan, Little Inchkin is no larger than a lotus flower, yet he possesses the heart of a true samurai. Embarking on a daring quest, he confronts formidable dragons, showcases his bravery, and wins the love of a princess. Through his valiant deeds, Inchkin's deepest wish is fulfilled by the Lord Buddha. This enchanting retelling of a classic Japanese legend celebrates courage, determination, and the belief that size does not define one's strength.
