“Les Parisiennes” (パリジェンヌ), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1962 (film 1961), B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) P3

This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster printed in 1962 for the first Japanese release of Les Parisiennes (パリジェンヌ), a chic French anthology film about love and modern life in Paris. The film opened theatrically in Japan on 29 May 1962, distributed by Tōwa (東和).

Conceived as a four-part “Paris fashion & romance showcase,” the film features four directors—Jacques Poitrenaud, Michel Boisrond, Claude Barma, and Marc Allégret—each handling one segment. The Japanese marketing leans into that concept directly, with the headline promising a “love fashion show” brought to the screen by the world’s most admired Parisians.

Poster design
A superb, design-forward early-1960s Japanese composition: bold hand-lettered katakana パリジェンヌ across the top, the Roman title LES PARISIENNES, and a central Eiffel Tower anchor—surrounded by glamorous character vignettes (including a striking dancer pose at left and key cast portraits at right). The clean white field and high-contrast layout make it exceptionally frameable, and a standout example of Tōwa’s French-cinema campaigns from this era.

It is over 63 years old!
