世界中の映画人に多大な影響を与えた映画監督故 黒澤明 は、18歳で二科展入選を果たすほどの画才の持ち主でもありました。「影武者」の製作が予算面で暗礁に乗り上げた際も、黒澤は内にある熱い想いと気迫を絵コンテに込め、その素晴らしさにフランシス=フォード・コッポラ、ジョージ・ルーカス両氏が感服し、製作が実現したというエピソードも残っています。このサイトでは、黒澤監督の絵コンテの展覧会や商品のご紹介をしております。ごゆっくりお楽しみ下さい。 The late film director, Akira Kurosawa, is often credited with introducing Japanese cinema
to a foreign audience and inspiring filmmakers all over the world, winning many awards for
his great career along the way. However he was also a gifted artist, so much so that his
paintings were admitted to the prestigious Nika Exhibition at the age of 18. He went on to
execute impressive storyboards, which became a part of the process to realize his
imagination on screen. It was through a series of storyboards Kurosawa managed to transmit
the passion and vigor of his vision and win the backing of Francis Ford Coppola and George
Lucas when a budget crisis threatened the production of KAGEMUSHA, a Cannes Film
Festival Golden Palm. Akira Kurosawa left a lasting legacy in the history of world cinema;
we wish the storyboards painted in his own hand will be seen by as many people as
possible, transcending borders and generations.
