And even though Kurosawa is no long around, and may not be able to see the benefit his films continue to have on people, their tone, issues and outlook remain as a strong and relevant as ever.

There are plenty of other Kurosawa sites out there — why another one? Good question. We have an answer. In fact: we have a few. Firstly, while browsing many of the other Kurosawa sites out there we got to thinking that many were not visual enough.
We wanted to make something that looked good, to further inspire possible Kurosawa devotees, and to properly do justice to the outstanding visual quality of the films being written about.

Similarly, in the equally theatrical and bizarre second dream, I witnesses a group of elaborately attired figures in a field who represent the trees of a cut-down peach orchard— hina dolls come to life. Such dolls are traditionally displayed, along with peach blossoms, during Hina Matsuri Doll Festival , which celebrates the health and good fortune of Japanese girls.
In the ensuing episodes, Kurosawa further plays with form to keep us off balance. Instead, he gives us a fake snowstorm and climbers moving in what is clearly slow motion—in a sequence that stretches for an almost absurdly long time. The individual segments in Dreams all exist between the naturalistic and the imagined, between immersion and alienation.
Inspired by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Kurosawa had kept a journal of his dreams for much of his life. Honda had served for years in the Japanese Imperial Army, fighting in Manchuria in the s and spending six months as a prisoner of war at the end of World War II.
By contrast, Kurosawa had been turned away from his army physical in thanks to a sympathetic officer; when he was finally conscripted at the end of the war, it was already too late to serve.
Consider the arc the film has followed so far. After talking to Van Gogh, he passes through them again—though now they are no longer exquisite re-creations of nature but actual artworks—starting with black-and-white sketches and moving on to giant paintings, in which I walks against giant brushstrokes, thick as trees. We have gone from an authentic replication of the natural world to something far more manipulated—beautiful and strange and fearsome. Even as he was giving up painting, Kurosawa had been falling in love with cinema.
