Kurosawa did have a very Western approach to filmmaking; so much so that in Japan he isn't quite as highly regarded as he is overseas, at least compared to some of his "more Japanese" contemporaries.

But then I'm one of those guys who hates when whitebread cartoonists in America call their comics "manga."
