The 1980s produced some of the most instantly recognisable Japanese poster designs—bold colour, high-contrast photography, and unmistakable typography that looks fantastic framed. This collection features original Japanese posters from the decade, spanning blockbuster Hollywood, anime, cult horror, and Japanese genre cinema—many now over 40 years old and increasingly scarce in strong display condition.
