"Onna Tobakushi Hana no Kirifuda" (1971) – Original Japanese B2 Poster
女賭博師花の切り札 | Toei Studios | Directed by Yoshio Inoue
A striking and vibrant original Japanese B2 poster for Onna Tobakushi Hana no Kirifuda (女賭博師花の切り札), part of Toei’s popular "Onna Tobakushi" (女賭博師 / Woman Gambler) series starring the iconic Kyōko Enami. Released in 1971, this film follows Enami’s legendary gambler character “Hana” as she faces off against deadly cheats, corrupt gangsters, and high-stakes deception in the dangerous world of underground gambling.
This poster bursts with dramatic energy — Enami takes center stage in a dark kimono embroidered with a fierce green dragon, eyes steely and hand poised mid-game. Surrounding her are tense male figures, swords drawn and eyes narrowed, evoking a classic mix of yakuza tension, period drama, and pulp-style thrills.
Directed by Yoshio Inoue, this entry in the series blends sharp cinematography, stylish set pieces, and strong female lead energy — a Toei staple of the early '70s.
A visually captivating piece from the golden age of ninkyo eiga (chivalrous yakuza films), this poster is a must-have for collectors of Japanese exploitation, gambler cinema, or strong-female-lead action films.
It is over 54 years old!
