PopMatters has posted an article by Miguel Douglas with the title Textbook on Film: The Political as Personal in the Films of Kurosawa, which discusses Kurosawa’s tendency and abilities to portray history in his films, and how he used history as a tool with which to discuss the present.
I think the article is actually a republication from about ten years back, but a good article is always worth re-reading.
