“Once Upon a Time in America” (ワンス・アポン・ア・タイム・イン・アメリカ), Original Japanese Movie Poster 1984, Toho-Towa First Release, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O163

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1984 for the first domestic theatrical release of Once Upon a Time in America (ワンス・アポン・ア・タイム・イン・アメリカ), directed by Sergio Leone and released in Japan by Toho-Towa. First-issue Japanese posters for Leone’s gangster epic—starring Robert De Niro, James Woods, and Elizabeth McGovern—are highly collectible.

Film background
Leone’s elegiac saga charts five decades in the lives of Lower East Side friends who rise from petty crime to Prohibition-era power and pay a devastating personal cost. With Ennio Morricone’s celebrated score, the film is widely regarded as one of the great American gangster epics.

Poster design
A moody country sheet: De Niro’s Noodles and the gang loom across the top band, rendered in shadowy close-ups, while a stylized Brooklyn Bridge graphic integrates with the monumental typographic masthead ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA. The bold red Japanese title sits beneath, flanked by scene stills and a lower action montage. The TOWA mark and credit block along the base and the Eirin rating are classic hallmarks of an authentic first-release sheet with strong wall presence.
