Rare

A selection of our rarest and most sought-after posters. Many pieces in this collection were acquired directly from some of Japan’s most exclusive private collections, and certain examples have been published in reference books or loaned for museum display. These posters do not surface often, and when they do, condition and provenance matter—so we catalogue each item carefully and present it exactly as it is.
