This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster printed in 1982 for the sci-fi feature Future War 198X (未来戦史198X年), featuring spectacular painted artwork by the legendary illustrator Noriyoshi Ohrai —a master of large-scale cinematic apocalypse imagery and one of the most celebrated poster artists of the era.
Poster design
A quintessential Ohrai “end-of-the-world” panorama: deep space greens and blacks, blazing missile launches, jets and armour in motion, and a colossal central inferno-like future battlefield that feels simultaneously mythic and hyper-real. Framed by multiple action vignettes, the composition reads like a complete sci-fi epic distilled into one image—dynamic lighting, airbrushed detail, and operatic scale. It’s an exceptional, frame-ready example of Ohrai’s peak 1980s style.
