Kurosawa

>Kurosawa Akira died of a stroke yesterday night at age 88.

Just to add to this:

He died at 12:45 am on the 6th at his home in Seijo, Setagaya-ku.  The 
funeral will be held on the 13th at 2pm at the Kurosawa Studio 
(Yokohama-shi, Midori-ku, Fujigaoka 3-2-1).

As can be expected, this was front page news.  In fact, this was the top 
story in the Mainichi, which added three pages of other related news 
inside.
