Both the great director Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune are some of the influences I have carried into my art. I first saw movies from this dynamic duo back in 1987 while taking an appreciation to movies course in high school.  I viewed Yojimo and Seven Samurai (during school!) and was mesmerized. Later in college I took Japanese Art History and have carried that subject right through to today.
