While trying to pick up some VeloViewer tiles I happened to ride past Toho Studios in Tokyo. A bronze statue commemorates the "Godzilla" movies made here in the 1950s and 60s while a big mural depicts "
Shichinin no Samurai" (Seven Samurai, 1954), one of the most famous Akira Kurosawa movies which in 1960 was remade as a Western as "The Magnificent Seven".
