Seven Samurai and Ikiru restored to 4K, screened this year in Japan • Akira Kurosawa News
Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai and Ikiru have been digitally restored to the new 4K resolution and will be shown later this year in Japan. The restoration work was carried out by Toho Studios, who apparently worked from original master copies as the status of the original negatives is unknown and may in fact have been destroyed. The films were cleaned up frame by frame, a job which is considerable considering the over half a million frames between the two.
