Limited edition portfolio of six colorful prints depicting characters from the 1985 film Ran, 23 x 28 and 28 x 23, numbered 214/250, each signed in the lower border in pencil by Kurosawa. Also includes two additional unsigned ‘title page’ prints of the same size. Housed in their original red linen clamshell portfolio box. In overall very fine condition. These exquisite prints are delightfully vivid and worthy portrayals of a film hailed for its powerful images and use of color—in addition to earning Kurosawa an Academy Award nomination for Best Director, Ran received nominations for Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, and Best Costume Design, winning the latter.
