I just noticed that, aside from the Japanese chirashi thread, there was not an overall, specific Japanese poster thread.

A few that I have, to start.

Title (as interpreted) Germany Was Defeated This Way
It measures 21x44 inches (and was printed in 2 sections with the lower section measuring 14.75 x 21 inches).

I do not know the year of this piece, but I'm guessing the 1950's. I really like that the entire piece is hand created art.

Thanks to Armin, too, for some info and insight into this piece.

He said it could have been created for theaters in more outlying areas, away from major cities.

B2 for The Man With the Golden Gun (1974) Art by Robert McGinnis.

B1 for The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)

I've not seen many Japanese movie posters before, these are some great examples of images from across the ocean.. Definitely different!!

So true, Mike.

The imagery can be sometimes more subtle yet powerful. And Im a real sucker for the beautiful calligraphy, too. Ive appreciated that, as an art form, too, since I was a kid.

Beautiful, Schan.

What is the title of the last film (the one with the 2 birds on the branch)?

That one is something else.
