This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1978 for the re-release of The Hidden Fortress.
The artwork is phenomenal with both Toshihiro Mifune and Misa Uehara prominently featured.
Star Wars: George Lucas has acknowledged the heavy influence of The Hidden Fortress on Star Wars, particularly in the technique of telling the story from the perspective of the film's lowliest characters, C-3PO and R2-D2. Lucas's original plot outline for Star Wars also had a strong resemblance to the plot of The Hidden Fortress, which would be reused for The Phantom Menace.
