A 1960 Re-Release Japanese Export Poster Vintage Theatrical Tri-Folded Japanese "B2" Movie Poster (printed in English in Japan for use in English-speaking countries; measures 20" x 28 1/2" [51 x 72 cm]) (Learn More) Ikiru (released in English-speaking countries as "Doomed", "Ikiru ['To Live!']", and "Living"), the 1952 Akira Kurosawa Japanese bureaucratic inaction melodrama ("Kurosawa's brilliant drama of modern Tokyo"; about a man who learns he is terminally ill, and he has no family to speak of, and he sets out to find some meaning to his life, and after several adventures, ends up connecting with a young girl from his office who helps him realize what is important) starring Takashi Shimura, Miki Odagiri, Shinichi Himori, Haruo Tanaka, and Minoru Chiaki. Note that this film had a brief and very limited release in California in 1956 under the "Doomed" title (possibly only at UCLA), and a wider release in the U.S. in 1960 as Ikiru ("To Live!") 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 movie was first released in Japan in 1952 and (as mentioned in the Description above) it had a very limited U.S. release in 1956 before receiving a wider U.S. release in 1960. The poster offered here was printed in Japan in 1960 and is entirely in English, except for the Spanish title "El Predestinado". We are not certain where it was intended to be used because the 1960 U.S. release had completely different advertising, and the tagline at the top suggests that it was not used in the United States. It may have been used for the first release in English-speaking or Spanish-speaking areas, but because it was printed in Japan, we are calling it a 1960 re-release. Also, note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this Japanese movie! Also note that this poster was tri-folded only (which means there is no vertical machine fold) but because it would be more expensive to send flat, it will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. There is a 1" tear in the upper right edge and there are a few smaller tears and tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. The poster is otherwise in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
