Ikiru is a 1952 Japanese drama film directed by Akira Kurosawa from a screenplay co-written with Shinobu Hashimoto and Hideo Oguni. The film examines the struggles of a terminally ill Tokyo bureaucrat and his final quest for meaning. The screenplay was partly inspired by Leo Tolstoy's 1886 novella The Death of Ivan Ilyich.

"Life is brief, fall in love, maidens... Before the crimson bloom fades from your lips... Before the tides of passion cools within you... For those of you who know no tomorrow... Life is brief, fall in love, maidens... Before our raven tresses begin to fade... Before the flames in your hearts flicker and die... For those to whom today will never return..."
