Blu-ray collection featuring 27 masterpieces by Akira Kurosawa (all works included except for 3 from Shochiku). AKIRA KUROSAWA THE MASTERWORKS Blu-ray 27 Disc Collection. Purchased on Amazon at the end of last year and only played once. There is some slight corner damage to the paper box (see photo 9).

Apparently made in China, but I think it's a good deal. It is only an estimate, but the masters seem to be roughly divided into three types: ① the same as the Toho-released BD box set (not restored, so older works have rain), ② Criterion versions (the highest quality until Toho's 4K restoration version is released), and ③ Kadokawa versions. "Dersu" is the Italian version. Since the titles are not written on the discs, I have attached a list I created. \#AkiraKurosawa \#ToshiroMifune \#TakashiShimura \#TatsuyaNakadai \#SetsukoHara \#CD・DVD
