In response to the award, Director Kurosawa responded to an interview with NHK online, saying, "I haven't been to the site, so it's more accurate to say that it doesn't come to me." However, "I was actually sleeping at the award ceremony, and when I woke up in the morning I was very surprised to receive emails from various people. It was the first time I knew that it was the director's award, and I was very impressed that I could share the joy with the staff cast. "
On top of that, he said, "I thought that it was set in Japan in the 1940s, and foreigners wouldn't know what the background of the era would be without special knowledge, but I believed that the exchange of hearts between people would be universal. I was filming. I believed that people from overseas would accept it, "he said.
And about the future, "I hope that the award will open up the possibility of shooting various works. While valuing my career so far, I will take another step toward something new and never done. I wonder if I can take on the challenge. I think it's an award for that, "he said with a smile.
