He was nominated twice for the Academy Award for Best Art Direction: the first time for his work in Rashomon (1950),[1] and the second time for his work in Seven Samurai (1954).[2] In 1950 he won the award for Best Art Direction at the Mainichi Film Concours for Stray Dog, directed by Akira Kurosawa.[3]
