"Onna Tobakushi Okuin Kaichō" (1972) – Original Japanese B2 Poster
女賭博師奥ノ院開帳 | Toei Studios | Starring Kyōko Enami | 大映映画
An intense and visually compelling B2-size original Japanese poster for Onna Tobakushi Okuin Kaichō (女賭博師奥ノ院開帳), released in 1972 as a part of Toei’s long-running “Onna Tobakushi” (Woman Gambler) series. The fierce and elegant Kyōko Enami once again leads the cast as the indomitable female gambler “Hana,” now facing deception and violence in the hidden depths of the yakuza underworld.
Wearing a black kimono emblazoned with a striking jade dragon, Enami's character sits with absolute poise, gripping her cup of dice — a symbol of fate and power. Around her, a swirl of drama unfolds: a wounded elder preparing for one last gamble, a calculating beauty in striped robes, and yakuza men tightening the noose of suspense.
Directed by Yoshio Inoue, with a screenplay by Aiichirō Ishimatsu, the film offers the expected blend of sharp cinematography, emotional stakes, and female-led grit that made the series a hallmark of Toei's '70s era pulp storytelling.
This is a superb collector’s piece for enthusiasts of Japanese yakuza cinema, Kyōko Enami’s trailblazing roles, or bold Showa-era poster art — where drama, style, and danger collide.
