No Kurosawa samurai films, but there is Yoji Yamada's The Hidden Blade, and I think that his "trilogy" of The Twilight Samurai, The Hidden Blade, and Love and Honor are some of the closest to Kurosawa quality films from a modern Japanese director. None of
Katsuhito Ishii's "good but weird" (a sad absence) but others that I mentioned above...

In short, I was pointing out the good stuff.
Oh yeah, I get it. I just don't think I'm the target demographic.
