An Original 1959 (from the first release of this movie in Spain) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Spanish Movie Poster (measures 27 3/4" x 39" [70 x 99 cm]) (Learn More) Zoku Miyamoto Musashi: Ichijoji No Ketto (released in English-speaking countries as "Samurai II: Duel at Ichijoji Temple" and "Duel at Ichijoji Temple"), the 1955 Hiroshi Inagaki Japanese biographical martial arts samurai action adventure melodrama sequel (the movies in this trilogy were all based on a single novel by Eiji Yoshikawa; unlike Mifune's Kurosawa samurai movies, this trilogy was filmed in color, and there are many very complex secondary characters in all three parts; the movies can stand alone, but they are best watched back to back!) starring Toshiro Mifune (in the title role), Koji Tsuruta, Mariko Okada, Kaoru Yachigusa, and Michiyo Kogure. Note that Toshiro Mifune made this movie shortly after "Shichinin no samurai" (Seven Samurai). In this movie, he played a samurai named Musashi Miyamoto, who was a well known samurai character in Japanese movies who had already been portrayed in eleven different Japanese movies going back to 1929! Mifune appeared as the same character in the prequel and sequel, and then the character was played by other actors in 23 more movies and TV shows until 2006. This movie is not well known in the U.S. (although it did have a U.S. release), and first release Japanese posters from it are quite rare! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
