This thesis examines the director Kurosawa’s view of war and perception of nuclear weapon shown in the 《Dreams》. The results of this study could be briefly summarized as follows. First, in the 「Tunnel」, Kurosawa not only contains the ‘requiem’ messages from numerous war victims, but also severely criticizes the militarism and imperialism just as shown in ‘black dog’ and ‘useless death’. Considering his style focusing on human’s life instead of ideological or political issues, this short story extraordinarily shows the director’s anti-war consciousness, which should be observed. Second, what should be paid attention in the 「Mount Fuji in Red」 are the warning of hazards of nuclear plants caused by natural disasters in the connection with Ukiyo-e’s Mount Fuji, the emphasis of messages on the risks of radiation leak/pollution, and many common features with the director’s first atomic-bomb film 《Record of a Living Being》. Third, as a reminiscence of the earlier episode 「Mount Fuji in Red」, the 「Ghost’s Cry」 shows the hell-like hopeless world caused by the nuclear war in the result of chasing the immediate gains. Due to the radioactive contamination, humans become Onis, and the Onis’ warning statement towards humans is harsh and straightforward as much as the statement on the war. Through the Onis’ unnatural death, Kurosawa emphasizes that there should be no deaths caused by atomic bomb or radioactivity.
