The Wikipedia article suggests 1993 at the funeral of Ishirō Honda.

"The relationship between the two men remained ambivalent. While Kurosawa made some very uncharitable comments about Mifune's acting, he also admitted in an interview in Interview magazine that 'all the films that I made with Mifune, without him, they would not exist.' He also presented Mifune with the Kawashita award which he himself had won two years prior. They finally made something of a reconciliation in 1993 at the funeral of their friend Ishiro Honda. After making tenuous eye contact, they tearfully embraced one another, ending nearly three decades of mutual avoidance.[citation needed] They never collaborated again, however, nor did they have a chance to restore their friendship fully. Both died within a year of the other."
