Is there is a film poster (or DVD cover) for the film anywhere on the web? I had a go but haven't found one, and would be delighted if you can point me to the right place. And perhaps the film is in an archive somewhere, and out of copyright? Again, I would be very pleased if you can help. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:11, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. A brief search could only find this as a decent image, probably from the press sheet for the film. The film is definitely in the National Film Center in Japan: [1]. But it is also likely that a print is in the Library of Congress in the USA, though they have still not put up a finding aid for their Japanese film collection. The film is probably in the public domain since even after the Kurosawa court decision, which applied the old copyright law to older films (32 years after the death of the director), this should be clear, since Sato died in 1978.
