Japan Navigator

Kurosawa Production and Ryukoku University have opened an archive site dedicated to the great film director Kurosawa Akira. Photos from Kurosawa’s life, stills from his films, copies of articles, notes Kurosawa made, and drawings of scenes have been included in the database. The site is only in Japanese. I had a look but must say it is very bare bones. There are permalinks for each item, so you can point to them from your website, but you are not allowed to download (at least, I could not find such items) or embed – but at least the site is not password protected.
