"The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" (シェルブールの雨傘), Original Japanese First-Release Movie Poster 1964, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O464

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1964 for Jacques Demy’s all-sung romance The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, starring Catherine Deneuve and Nino Castelnuovo, with a timeless score by Michel Legrand. Winner of the 1964 Cannes Palme d’Or, the film became a landmark of French cinema and a career-making moment for Deneuve.

Design
Poetic minimalism: the lovers embrace beneath a lilac umbrella at center, surrounded by a misty, sketched Cherbourg streetscape. Pedestrians with umbrellas drift across the lower field like a rainy-day chorus, while the elegant French title les parapluies de cherbourg is set in airy blue typography along the left—an exquisitely restrained Japanese campaign that captures the film’s pastel lyricism.
