“Seven Samurai” (七人の侍), Original Japanese Re-release Movie Poster 1991 (Renewal Sound / Complete Original Version), B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) K315
This is an original Japanese B2 poster issued in Japan for the 1991 theatrical re-release of Seven Samurai (七人の侍, 1954), Akira Kurosawa’s monumental masterpiece and one of the most influential films ever made. This release is clearly marked as a “Renewal Sound” (リニューアルサウンド) edition and “Complete Original Version” (完全オリジナル版)—a prestige reissue designed to present Kurosawa’s epic with renewed impact for modern audiences. A cornerstone title for serious collectors, and a particularly desirable re-release variant due to its bold campaign messaging and powerful graphic presence.
Poster design
A striking, high-contrast “event cinema” design built around two iconic faces—mud-splattered intensity in close-up—set against a sweeping battlefield montage of charging riders, chaos, and storm-grey atmosphere. The top header declares 「映画史上最強最高」 (“The strongest and greatest in film history”), with 「黒澤明監督作品」 (“A film by Akira Kurosawa”) beneath, framing it as a definitive masterpiece. Across the bottom, the enormous red brush-calligraphy 「七人の侍」 slams onto the page like a seal—unmistakable, dramatic, and exceptionally frame-friendly. The blue cartouche at lower left reinforces this specific issue: リニューアルサウンド／完全オリジナル版.
