Auction History Result 4b0238 SANJURO linen 1sh 1963 Akira Kurosawa's Tsubaki Sanjuro, samurai Toshiro Mifune, ultra rare! Date Sold 4/28/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1963 Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Tsubaki Sanjuro (released in the U.S. in 1963 as "Akira Kurosawa's Sanjuro"), the 1962 Akira Kurosawa Japanese samurai martial arts action adventure thriller sequel ("A fast sword, keen perception used well to Slaughter His Enemies"; "Toho Production in TohoScope") starring Toshiro Mifune (in the title role as Sanjuro Tsubaki), Tatsuya Nakadai, Takashi Shimura, Reiko Dan, Keiju Kobayashi, Yuzo Kayama, and Akihiko Hirata. Note that this movie was a sort of sequel to Kurosawa's 1961 movie, "Yojimbo", with Mifune again playing a ronin, but with a different name (and again, he is a somewhat tarnished hero). Also note that this well regarded Akira Kurosawa Japanese movie surprisingly only received a limited first release in the U.S., and movie paper from that U.S. release is incredibly rare, for unknown reasons. It also apparently had a limited first release in all other English-speaking countries, again for unknown reasons. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that when we auctioned this poster in 2018, it was the very first movie paper item we have ever auctioned from the U.S. release of this Akira Kurosawa movie. Not only that, the only other English language item we have ever auctioned was a Japanese "export" poster, which might have been sent to any English speaking country. Perhaps this movie received a very limited arthouse release in English speaking countries, but whatever the reason, English language movie paper from it is incredibly rare! WE HAVE NOW BEEN RECONSIGNED THE VERY SAME POSTER WE AUCTIONED IN 2018, so it is still the only U.S. poster from this movie we have ever auctioned! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had two evenly spaced vertical folds instead of one, and it had tiny paper loss at some crossfolds, and some tiny bits of paper loss on parts of several folds. It had some smudges, scuffs, and small tears around the edges, with some smudges in the solid colored background areas. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
