My latest book “On Kurosawa – A Tribute to the Master Director” explores AK’s work and life, including all thirty of the films he directed, a dozen that he scripted or co-scripted for other directors, and key episodes and themes in his personal history.
Amongst these are the rupture with Toshiro Mifune, the death of his brother, his women, his war and his concept of the samurai in contrast to Yukio Mishima’s.
The quality of the book’s design has been highly praised. You can see for yourself by looking inside the book at this dedicated website
A big THANK YOU to the writers, academics, friends, film director and film producer who provided generous comments to the site.
The book is now available from Amazon.com, Amazon UK and, for those in or around Japan, from Shashasha.
