Auction History Result 9m0296 SANJURO linen export Japanese 1963 Akira Kurosawa, Toshiro Mifune slaughters his enemies, rare! Date Sold 8/8/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Japanese Export (printed for use in English speaking countries) "B2" Movie Poster (measures 20 1/4" x 28 5/8" [51 x 73 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 we have only previously auctioned two examples of this first release Japanese export poster, which this is a "country of origin" poster for this Japanese movie, and the last one was 14 years ago! Also note that this Japanese B2 poster was printed in Japan, but was intended to be used when the movie was shown in English speaking countries. What IS linenbacking?
