I'm not a professional writer, but I've got written a kurosawa-like short story of a bushi character named Nobuhiro. 10-12 pages text.

It's in spanish thou, but would be no problem in translation.

If you're interested, let me know, 'couse, i've always had a very visual idea on that story, but not the time/strenght/talent to draw it.

sorry took me so long to answer.
been busy.

I'm afraid i don't have the time/strengh right now for been so collaborative in a plot/storyline creation. I wish.

I understood you needed a story. That's what I've got written and offered to you, but maybe it hasn't as much action as I now realize you may like to be there...
:worry:

So, I'll wait for your work on the subject with whoever you choose.

Do you have any examples of Akira Kurosawa style storytelling/character/spacing?

you may want to try the works of akira kurosawa as a good example of the akira kurosawa style.

I've seen a few of Akira Kurosawa's movies from various periods of his career and I really couldn't pin down what you were asking for here, especially since he's done a little over a two dozen films. Are you looking to have a story that is meant to have a feel specific to a given period in his career, or are there particular movies you're seeking to draw influences from in particular to the story you're seeking to have done?

i am looking to collaborate with a writing partner for a one-shot comic project existing in the same era and tone as the standard kurosawa films one might expect - 'seven samurai', 'the hidden fortress', 'yojimbo', 'sanjuro' (and also the not-kurosawa series 'zatoichi' ). an homage to the 50's/early 60's chambara movies, complete with the regular cast of feeble peasants, thug brigands, greedy merchants, and a drifting ronin-with-no-name, etc, etc, etc... i'm not looking for magic swords, ninja demon clans or flying wire-fu - just variations on the conventions used in the examples i've mentioned. i want the influences to be unabashedly worn on the sleeve.

if you are knowledgeable of and would enjoy working within the genre, please let me know.
