1960s Posters

The 1960s are a landmark decade for Japanese film—and for poster design, with bold modernist layouts, striking illustration, and distinctive Showa-era typography. This collection brings together original Japanese posters from the era, spanning Japanese classics and international releases, many now over 60 years old and increasingly difficult to find in strong display condition.
