"Onna Tobakushi Saikoro Kesho" (1969) – Original Japanese B2 Poster
女賭博師さいころ化粧 | Toei Studios | Starring Kyōko Enami | 大映映画
A captivating B2-size original Japanese poster for Onna Tobakushi Saikoro Kesho (女賭博師さいころ化粧), the 1969 installment in Toei’s wildly popular "Onna Tobakushi" (Woman Gambler) series. Front and center is the indomitable Kyōko Enami, her intense gaze and poised hand ready to throw the dice, symbolizing a life or death wager in the treacherous world of underground gambling.
Dressed in a dark indigo kimono adorned with an embroidered dragon, Enami’s character is flanked by a cast of equally intense players — allies, enemies, and deceivers — caught in a deadly game where betrayal is only ever a move away. The scene behind her depicts a tense gambling den, filled with steely-eyed onlookers and heavy stakes.
Directed by Yoshio Inoue, with a script by Aiichirō Ishimatsu, this film blends traditional yakuza aesthetics with Toei’s signature brand of female-led action and drama.
An iconic piece of Japanese cinema history, this poster perfectly captures the spirit of 1960s ninkyo eiga, with dynamic composition, vivid colors, and unapologetic drama. A gem for collectors of yakuza film posters, Toei memorabilia, or fans of Kyōko Enami’s legendary roles.
