Seppuku (released in English-speaking countries as "Harakiri"), the 1962 Masaki Kobayashi Japanese Samurai ritual suicide melodrama ("The world has never understood why the Japanese prefer death to dishonor!"; "Winner of Prix Special du Jury at Cannes 1963 provides the answer!!") starring Tatsuya Nakadai, Shima Iwashita, Akira Ishihama, Yoshio Inaba, Rentaro Mikuni, Masao Mishima, Tetsuro Tamba, Ichiro Nakaya, and Yoshio Aoki
If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that the last example of this poster that we auctioned sold for $689! Note also that this is a "country of origin" poster for this Japanese movie! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: very good. The poster has minor wear on the folds. It has tiny brown stains scattered on the back of each fold, more so on the back of the middle horizontal fold, but they do not show through to the front. There is a tiny pair of staple holes in the top left corner and tiny tears in the top 6" of the left border. This great poster can be displayed and enjoyed as it is, as long as one is accepting of its defects described above, or certainly, any talented restorer could perform restoration to it, with or without backing the poster.
