Showcasing striking artwork featuring the intense presence of Toshiro Mifune, this design is highly sought after by collectors worldwide. As one of Akira Kurosawa’s most celebrated films, memorabilia of this caliber is rarely seen. Given its scarcity, this poster is a must-have while it remains available—we have yet to come across another copy with this unique artwork.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest films in Japanese cinema, Seven Samurai is the defining masterpiece of Akira Kurosawa. Consistently ranked among the best films ever made, its influence on Western filmmakers has been profound and continues to shape cinema across generations. Kurosawa, one of history’s most revered directors, crafted a timeless epic that remains his most famous work.
This nearly five-foot-tall STB tatekan poster showcases stunning artwork, depicting key moments from the film in remarkable detail. Unlike standard Japanese B2 posters, the STB format had significantly lower print runs, making them exceedingly rare—especially for iconic films like Seven Samurai. Today, these posters are highly prized among collectors for their scarcity and historical significance.
