MusicStarsReviewThe Hidden FortressShichinin no samurai, Ikiru, and , his artistic vision would expand exponentially with the introduction of widescreen Cinemascope in Japan in 1958. By expanding the canvas upon which he created, Kurosawa would add a depth and dimension to his films that other directors of the time and in successive years would mine for inspiration.
