This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1960 for the first release of Cruel Story of Youth.
Cruel Story of Youth (Naked Youth) directed by Nagisa Oshima with Miyuki Kuwano / Yusuke Kawazu / Yoshiko Kuga / Fumio Watanabe.
In 1960 Japan, restless university student Kyoshi (Yusuke Kawazu) seduces pretty teenager Makoto (Miyuki Kuwanu) and quickly convinces her to take part in a dark, cruel scheme, both to get easy money and to keep their boredom at bay. Kyoshi and Makoto begin preying on middle-aged men, who easily succumb to Makoto's charms, only to be blackmailed. The couple's growing frustration with the constricted world around them pushes them into increasingly ruthless behavior.
