Artist Monday: Akira Kurosawa

Akira Kurosawa is one of my greatest inspirations. Though he is a film writer and director, how he films movies makes an extremely emotional atmosphere to go along with the emotional storytelling. The characters he creates are also extremely strong, you end up feeling true emotion to the characters he creates like Kikuchyo from Seven Samurai. He made hundreds of movies until his death in the 90's. His work also spawned a strong friendship between George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. Kurosawa's images and films are legendary.
