The long handheld shot was a very interesting choice. I haven't seen it done in a chambara before.

The Zatoichi movies of the 60's look suprisingly modern, unlike alot of 70's Chinese kung fu films, which seem dated by comparison. Even the style of cinematography in this clip seems like something that was filmed recently, but maybe that's just the way I see it.

A big portion of this is, I think, the nature of the studio sets used. They're much more believable in the Zatoichi movies. The Japanese films also, in general, had more time put into them. And they also had extremely good cinematographers and more visually modern directors.
For an example of something that looks more modern and is Chinese, look to the 1967 film The One-Armed Swordsman.

I have a request lartrak, think you can get the full video clip and scene of Zatoichi Vs The One armed Swordsman? That had to be his best fight ever.

Not too many of the Zatoichi flicks have gore. It isn't really needed, and wouldn't work well with the style of choreography that they usually have.
However, the final film in the series has a ton of gore and blood sprays. Some of the other entries also have gore - severed arms, eye gougings, blood geysers (first blood spray is in Zatoichi and the Chest of Gold), etc.
If gore is what you want, however, I'd suggest the films of Katsu's brother - the Lone Wolf and Cub series.
