“The Birds” (鳥), Original Re-Release Japanese Movie Poster 1972, B2 Size (51 x 73cm) O593
This is an original re-release Japanese B2 poster issued in Japan (1972) for the landmark suspense/horror film The Birds, released under the minimalist Japanese title 「鳥」. Few films have such an instantly recognizable premise—and this one’s long legacy as a “nature turns” classic has kept it permanently in the collector conversation.
Japanese advertising for the title often emphasized bold concept and atmosphere, and this B2 does exactly that: it sells dread with negative space, silhouette, and motion rather than crowded scene imagery.
Poster design
An iconic concept-driven layout: a large, soft-focus portrait dominates the sheet while flocks of black birds cut across the sky like moving shadows. The screaming vignette at lower left adds a jolt of panic, while the stark blue title block gives the whole piece a clean, modern poster-gallery feel.
