For the scene in which Gisaku's mill is burned down by the bandits, the crew initially covered the mill in fabric in order to light it on fire without burning the entire structure, the theory being that they could then keep shooting at the location without destroying the mill. Ultimately, according to assistant art director Yoshirô Muraki, this made the set "soggy" and future takes only produced smoke, not fire. In the end, the mill was rebuilt and burned down three times in order to get all of the footage Akira Kurosawa needed.
