One of the truly great superstars of jidaigeki. I may have to revisit Ran or Harakiri in mourning.

Wasn’t he in Sword of Doom?
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.

Wow! He had a long run. I thought sure he went out a long time ago.

He was 92. His final film, which I have not seen, was 2020 -  The Pass: Last Days of the Samurai.

I was recently thinking of watching Ran again. I haven't seen it since I went to Los Gatos to see it when it was released. I was stunned by it.

Funny, that's what Stacy said. 

Unfortunately Ran isn't on Criterion, but they do have a collection dedicated to Nakadai. He did this long ass trilogy - the Human Condition - each film is 3 hours long - a WWII story. Never seen it. Criterion has that, of course. Might start chipping on it. We'll see.
