"Shinsengumi" (新選組), Original Japanese First-Release Movie Poster 1969, B1 Size (71 × 103 cm)

Sale price $150.00

This is an original Japanese B1 poster printed in 1969 for Toho’s period epic Shinsengumi, directed by Kihachi Okamoto and starring Toshirō Mifune as Kondō Isami. Issued to commemorate Mifune’s 100th screen appearance (三船敏郎映画出演100本記念), the film charts the turbulent rise and fall of the shogunate’s infamous sword corps at the end of the Edo period.

Design
A powerful, full-bleed action still of Mifune mid-draw, iron cuirass catching the light and blade flashing as banners whip behind him. The massive scarlet brush title 「新選組」 anchors the foot, with Toho roundel and production credits at lower left — a quintessential late-’60s samurai one-sheet with unmistakable star presence.

Condition
Good for age: noticeable handling and surface creasing throughout, scattered edge wear and tiny chips, a couple of short tears, minor spots, and tape reinforcement to the verso (see back photo). Colors remain strong and the poster displays well.
