Kurosawa Digital Archive

[Mark Nornes]

There is a splendid new resource for Japanese cinema on the web. It is  
a digital archive for the selected papers of Kurosawa Akira:

http://www.ss.i.ryukoku.ac.jp/pearl/pages/pearl/index.html#

It appears to be a joint project for Ryukoku University and the  
Kurosawa family. The software is a bit clunky and slow, but the  
content is very impressive. There are many location snap-shots,  
scenarios (drafts and shootings scripts), continuity drawings, notes,  
etc. etc. etc. Definitely check this out. There is great work to be  
done in there.
