“King of the Grizzlies” (灰色グマの一生), Original Japanese Movie Poster 1970 (film ©1970), B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O675
This is an original Japanese B2 poster issued in Japan for King of the Grizzlies (1970), released in Japanese as 灰色グマの一生. A classic Walt Disney live-action nature-adventure drama, the film follows the life and legend of a great grizzly—an epic wilderness story rooted in the tradition of Disney’s best outdoor cinema. The Japanese text on the sheet highlights the scale of the “king” bear (a huge Rocky Mountain grizzly) and frames it as a sweeping adventure of the natural world, rich in both beauty and danger.
Poster design
An absolutely stunning, high-impact design built around a towering full-body grizzly silhouetted against a blazing red-orange sky—pure primal iconography. The composition feels almost like a modern art print: minimal elements, maximal presence. The bold blue title 「灰色グマの一生」 anchors the lower third, while the surrounding Japanese copy sells the film’s scale and drama with classic Showa-era punch. This is one of those posters that looks incredible framed—graphic, powerful, and instantly readable from across a room.
