Original Akira Kurosawa Movie Posters

Akira Kurosawa movie posters from the legendary Japanese director gather original material spanning samurai epics, historical dramas, and humanistic character studies across five decades. Film/Art Gallery carries original prints from across Kurosawa's five-decade career at Toho Studios and beyond.

The postwar masterpieces define the collection: Rashomon (1950), which introduced Japanese cinema to Western audiences by winning the Venice Golden Lion, produced campaign materials that are now among the rarest Japanese theatrical prints in the collector market. Seven Samurai (1954) — remade as The Magnificent Seven, and again as Battle Beyond the Stars — generated Japanese B2 and B3 originals of exceptional graphic quality. Ikiru (1952), Sanjuro (1962), Yojimbo (1961) — which became the template for the Spaghetti Western — Kagemusha (1980), and Ran (1985) extend the range across every phase of his career. International versions — French grandes affiches, Italian foglio, US one-sheets produced for American art-house distribution — demonstrate how his films were positioned differently across markets.

Available in Japanese B2 and B3 formats, French grandes affiches, US one-sheets, and Italian foglio variants. Condition runs Fine to Very Fine.
