Akira Kurosawa
Master of Japanese Cinema
The camera is the eye of the soul.
I was born in Tokyo, in the shadow of art and war. My films are not mere stories, but mirrors held to the soul — shaped by Dostoevsky, by Noh, by the winds of change. I do not speak of style, but of seeing.
What I'm Into: Sanshiro Sugata, Seven Samurai, Rashomon, woodblock prints, tea in the garden
