"Tokyo Story (東京物語)", Original Japanese Movie Poster 1993, OZU Retrospective Re-Release, B2 Size (51 x 73cm) N157

This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1993 for Shochiku’s Ozu Retrospective, marking the renewed release of Yasujirō Ozu’s Tokyo Story (1953) — widely considered his greatest masterpiece and one of the most important films in world cinema.

Tokyo Story follows an elderly couple who travel from the countryside to visit their grown children in Tokyo, only to be met with indifference. Featuring Setsuko Hara and Chishū Ryū in career-defining roles, the film is celebrated for Ozu’s tatami-level framing, quiet pacing, and profound meditation on family, aging, and generational change. It remains a cornerstone of Japanese and world cinema, consistently ranking among the greatest films ever made.

Poster design
The design pairs bold brushstroke typography 「東京物語」 with the English subtitle Tokyo Story beneath. Below, a serene still of Setsuko Hara and Chishū Ryū captures the film’s quiet emotional depth. A violet inset promotes the accompanying 1993 documentary Talking with Ozu, shown alongside the retrospective. Clean, elegant, and timeless — a fitting tribute to Ozu’s legacy.
