    The Tapestry of Rashomon an Analysis of its Social Background,
    (Journal of Aesthetic and Fine Arts, University of Kelaniya, 2016) Ratnayake, P.
    The film Rashomon of Akira Kurosawa is a work of art (Tatara 2011), produced in the 20th century that can be compared to no other classical work produced in the era. Kurosawa has not only represented the human activities of the social, political and economical environment but had also reflected in depth the deeper realities of humanity itself (Macfarlane 2003). The literary journey he undertakes is a result of the depression that had sunk to the depths of his innermost mind. In doing so one could observed that he had been influenced by the techniques belonging to the world and culture of the short story writer Ryunosuke Akutagawa who had composed Rashomon and In a Grove. In producing Rashomon he had concentrated more on transcribing the plot to a film script.
