Akira Kurosawa
Akira Kurosawa
This multi-page brochure was made as a tribute to the film works of Akira Kurosawa. Made entirely by hand, this brochure was created using the traditional Yotsume toji bookbinding techniques and materials who's use dates back to feudal Japan. A style that parallels the same era that Kurosawa most frequently set his films in.
