It definitely was not the one with Charles Bronson but it did have Toshiro Mifune as the samurai so maybe it was Hara Kiri. All I can remember now is that he was all alone in a house in the country and ended up wading into this tall grass going entirely on instinct as to where the other warriors were. The implication was that he wouldn't survive so the title fits.
