Man in the Dunes: Discovering Hiroshi Teshigahara February 23, 2006

The son of Japan?s foremost Ikebana (the art of flower-arranging) expert, Hiroshi Teshigahara lived a dozen artistic lives: sculptor, painter, opera director, interior designer, writer, and more. Yet it was his career as a filmmaker that brought him international recognition. His diverse artistic background and collaboration with Japan?s brightest artists (writer Kobo Abe and composer Toru Takemitsu) resulted in thought-provoking films that destroyed the boundaries of what could be seen on Japanese screens.
