Akira Kurosawa - Toho DVDs
Here are links to the 2007 re-issues from Toho (21 films). I only have The Most Beautiful so far. It is a huge improvement on the very poor Mei Ah (which I think was transferred to DVD from a Laserdisc). Although it has some dirt and scratches it has good contrast throughout most of it. Only problem it has no English sub-titles.
The Most Beautiful included a brochure for the rest of the collection and I have scanned it and uploaded it here along with the cover & disc for The Most Beautiful. Note there is some sort of ad for the Sanjuro remake on the front.
Cost of most disc equates to about US$40. Not sure if they ship internationally from this site.
