Auction History Result 2z0728 TOKYO TWILIGHT Japanese local city 1957 Yasujiro Ozu Tokyo Boshoku, Setsuko Hara, ultra rare! Date Sold 9/29/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Japanese "B2" Movie Poster (measures 20 1/4" x 26 3/4" [51 x 68 cm]) (Learn More) Tokyo Boshoku (released in English-speaking countries as "Tokyo Twilight"), the 1957 Yasujiro Ozu Japanese family relationship single parent melodrama (about a seemingly single father of two adult daughters, one divorced with a child and the other pregnant, searching for the boyfriend who impregnated her, and THEN the mother the daughters were told died long ago resurfaces!) starring Setsuko Hara, Ineko Arima, Chishu Ryu, Isuzu Yamada, and Teiji Takahashi. This is one of director Ozu's darkest movies, and it shows a very different side of him from many of his best known movies! Also note that Yasujiro Ozu was a legendary Japanese writer and director from 1920s to the 1960s. He is likely the second best regarded Japanese director after Akira Kurosawa, and many of his films are considered classics, and his masterpiece is "Tokyo Story" from 1953, although he made movies from 1927 to 1962. First release Japanese posters of any kind from any of his movies are beyond rare! 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 this is an extremely rare "country of origin" poster for this Japanese movie directed by Ozu. Not only have we never auctioned one before, we have never auctioned ANY movie paper of any type for the film in all our years of auctioning! Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 20 1/4" x 26 3/4" [51 x 68 cm]. Finally, note that this is a "local city" poster. This means that the poster is not the one that Shochiku printed for the nationwide first release of this movie in 1957, but rather it is a poster that was printed (by a company contracted by Shochiku) for its 1957 first release in a specific city (or cities) other than Tokyo, and it has a different image than the nationwide one. Condition: good. The poster has a few inches of the lower edge trimmed off (see our image). The poster has large diagonal creases at left. There are some pinholes and creases and tiny tears along portions of some edges and those have been repaired with tape from the back and they are touched up on the front. There is a small tear in the woman's nose at upper right that has been repaired with tape from the back. There is some white paint touch up at lower center (between the purple and red words).
