黑泽明 / Akira Kurosawa

黑泽明 / Akira Kurosawa appears in 17.地狱变：众生皆苦，一念入魔 through his film [[RashomonFilm|《罗生门》]]. The episode uses him as an adaptation figure who gives [[AkutagawaRyunosuke|芥川龙之介]]’s stories a new afterlife rather than simply illustrating them.

In the source’s account, Kurosawa fuses [[InAGrove|《竹林中》]]’s main testimony plot with [[RashomonAkutagawa|《罗生门》]]’s gate setting and title. That fusion is why “罗生门” became the common cultural label for truth-conflict even though the story mechanism largely comes from 《竹林中》.
