"Onna Tobakushi Jūban Shōbu" (1970) – Original Japanese B2 Poster
女賭博師十番勝負 | Toei Studios | Starring Kyōko Enami | 大映映画
A dynamic and visually arresting B2-size Japanese poster for Onna Tobakushi Jūban Shōbu (女賭博師十番勝負), released in 1970 as a late entry in Toei’s acclaimed “Woman Gambler” (Onna Tobakushi) series. Once again, Kyōko Enami dominates the scene as the fierce and iconic female gambler “Hana,” clad in a bold indigo kimono embroidered with a green dragon, ready to stake everything on the roll of the dice.
Surrounding her are classic elements of Toei’s gambler cinema: a dangerous rival brandishing cards, a mysterious woman sprawled in a green yukata, and tense yakuza figures lurking in the shadows of the gambling hall. The room is thick with suspense, every glance suggesting betrayal, loyalty, or high-stakes revenge.
Directed by Yoshio Inoue, with a script that blends honor, deception, and razor-sharp instincts, this entry showcases the formula that made the series so beloved — fast-paced action, stylish period visuals, and a commanding female lead navigating a man’s underworld.
This poster captures everything that made Showa-era gambler cinema so visually rich and dramatically gripping. A must-have for collectors of Japanese exploitation, Toei yakuza films, and strong-female-lead cinema history.
