Japanese B2 (20" x 28.5")
Very Fine on Paper
Toho, 1954

This country-of-origin poster featuring an image of Toshiro Mifune in a warrior stance surrounded by images from the critically acclaimed Akira Kurosawa film remains highly in demand for international collectors.

This B2 had been paper backed to reinforce the poster. There is no restoration to it, but there are tiny edge tears and minor chipping at the bottom and the lower left and right edges. The paper on the verso has been trimmed to the edge of the poster

Akira Kurosawa's samurai epic, featuring a rag-tag group of warriors who bond together to defend a village from bandits in 16th-century Japan, remains his best-known, best-loved, and most successful film. It is also one of cinema's most remade films, most famously Westernized as The Magnificent Seven in 1960 and 2016.

Estimate: $8,000 - 16,000
