Seven Samurai window benches along the wallsA hand painted billboard for Akira Kurosawa's 1954 film Shichinin no Samurai covers most of the upper storey of a white clapboard building on a wet Yubari street, political flyers plastered across the ground floor window below. The signboard is part of Yubari Kinema Kaido, a stretch of the city where film culture from the Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival was painted directly onto the built fabric. Part of the Streetscapes of Yubari series.
