Kurosawa's actual home, Mt. Fuji looming like a third presence
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This meeting represents a passing of torch between two eras of Japanese cinema: Kurosawa's humanist epic tradition and Miyazaki's emerging anime dominance.
The 1993 date places this shortly after Kurosawa received his honorary Oscar and during production of Princess Mononoke—peak creative tension for both.
