This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1971 for the first release of Red Army / P.F.L.P: Declaration of World War.
Highly scarce due to its limited and politically sensitive release, this poster is a seminal artifact of Japan’s 1970s New Left and international protest culture. Culturally significant as both a cinematic document and a piece of revolutionary propaganda, it holds enduring value for collectors of radical cinema, Japanese political history, and avant-garde poster design.
Released in 1971, the film was intended as a manifesto and propaganda piece, documenting the ideological and militant alliance between the Japanese Red Army and the Palestinian PFLP during the height of global leftist revolutionary movements. It includes real footage shot in Middle Eastern training camps, aiming to inspire international solidarity in anti-imperialist armed struggle.
Directed and produced by Koji Wakamatsu, a seminal figure in Japan’s underground cinema, the film stirred both global controversy and admiration in radical circles. It is a bold artifact of 1970s Japanese political extremism and experimental cinema.
