Kurosawa’s Birthday Month, Day 6

Congratulations to Friday’s winner, Dan! Dan’s caption for this screenshot from Throne of Blood was:

The Emperor initially resisted the switch from plastic bags to cloth.

March is Akira Kurosawa month at Criterion. On the twenty-third, the great Japanese filmmaker would have been one hundred years old. For this centennial celebration, we will be posting trivia questions and other contests all month, and giving away a different prize every weekday.

Today’s prompt:

What’s your favorite use of music or sound in a Kurosawa film?

Please respond by commenting below, and we’ll choose our favorite tomorrow. You must leave a valid e-mail address to be eligible for the prize (a Rashomon DVD).
