"Kantō Onna Tobakushi" (1968) – Original Japanese B2 Poster
関東女賭博師 | Toei Studios | Starring Kyōko Enami | 大映映画
A fierce and visually commanding B2-size original Japanese poster for Kantō Onna Tobakushi (関東女賭博師), released in 1968 by Toei Studios. This early installment in the famed “Woman Gambler” (Onna Tobakushi) series showcases Kyōko Enami at her most intense — stepping into the treacherous underworld of Kantō’s gambling dens where honor, deception, and blood debts collide.
Enami takes center stage in a soft blue kimono embroidered with golden dragons, her hand confidently extended, revealing a deadly roll of dice. Her piercing stare and poised demeanor capture the soul of the gambler — calm, calculating, and ready for anything. Around her, a cast of seasoned yakuza players, scheming opponents, and comic side characters create a layered world of tension, betrayal, and dark humor.
Directed by Yoshio Inoue, with bold cinematography by Yoshio Nakagawa, the film typifies Toei’s late-60s aesthetic: sharp, stylish, and packed with pulp drama.
A brilliant collector's item for fans of Japanese yakuza cinema, Kyōko Enami’s legendary career, or striking Showa-era poster design — this piece captures the dangerous glamour of the female gambler like no other.
