“Aido (愛奴) – Slave of Love” STB, Original Release Japanese Poster 1969, STB Tatekan Size (c. 51 × 145 cm) O353

Sale price $250.00

This is an original Japanese STB (tatekan-style two-panel) poster printed in 1969 to promote Aido (愛奴 / あいど, “Slave of Love”), directed by Susumu Hani. The pink-on-blue tagline at top reads: 「私は愛の奴隷… 私は男の歓び… 私は与える…」 — “I am a slave to love… I am a man’s pleasure… I give…” Beneath it, the copy boasts: 「『初恋・地獄篇』を凌いで性の極致を衝く」 — “Surpassing Nanami: The Inferno of First Love, it strikes at the extreme limits of sexuality.” Hani, a leading figure of the Japanese New Wave, followed his breakthrough Nanami (1968) with this daring portrait of desire; Aido was entered into the 19th Berlin International Film Festival. 

Key credits and notes:

 • Director: Susumu Hani (羽仁進) — celebrated New Wave icon whose earlier Nanami: The Inferno of First Love (1968) gained international attention. 

 • Story by Isamu Kurita (栗田勇); screenplay by Kurita and Hani. 

 • Starring Yuri Suemasa (末政百合) with Kenzō Kawarazaki, Rumiko Tanuma, Kenzaburō Shirai, Jusaburō Tsujimura, and others. 

 • Cinematography: Yūji Okumura (奥村祐治). 

 • Produced by Hani Productions; distributed by Shochiku (noted at foot of the poster). Film release: 1969. 

The poster features a striking full-length vertical layout: neon-contour profiles of two faces about to kiss glow across a deep blue field at the top; the hand-brushed title 愛奴 floats over a saturated gradient that shifts from magenta into orange; a silhouetted nude female figure dominates the center, while a young man, rendered in soft photographic tones, crawls at her feet — an image that distills the film’s themes of erotic domination and obsession.

This particular poster is a large-format STB (tatekan) — approximately twice the height of a standard B2 — and was typically displayed at cinema entrances. STB posters were printed in limited numbers and survive in small quantities, making them highly collectible.

This poster is in excellent condition. Please refer to the imagery (both front and back) as this is the exact poster that is for sale.
