"Onna Kumichō" (1968) – Alternate STB Poster
女組長 | Toei Studios | Starring Kyōko Enami | Directed by Masahiro Makino
A powerful minimalist variation of the 1968 Onna Kumichō STB poster, this design trades yakuza chaos for singular focus: Kyōko Enami stands alone beneath a blazing sunset sky, clutching her spear with unwavering poise. The visual silence is deafening — it's the calm before the storm, a portrait of dignity on the brink of vengeance.
Directed by Masahiro Makino, Onna Kumichō (literally "Female Boss") ushered in the age of the onna yakuza-eiga (female yakuza film), with Enami leading the charge. This rare vertical-format poster strips back the noise to let its central figure radiate raw authority.
An essential piece for collectors of Japanese exploitation cinema, Toei studio classics, or anyone enchanted by the image of a woman who commands her fate — and everyone else's.
