This is an original Japanese pamphlet-poster from the first release of An Autumn Afternoon in 1962.
This pamphlet is from 1962 and is incredibly rare even in Japan.
This poster was acquired by Japan Poster Shop, along with many other rare 1950-1970`s posters (all in excellent to near mint condition), from a Japanese supplier near Osaka. The posters were previously carefully stored in a warehouse belonging to an entrepreneur who used to own a cinema until the 1980`s (when it went bankrupt due to the rise in VHS video).
This size of poster can be displayed anywhere, it is ideal for an office, or at home.
This poster will make a beautiful gift for family, friend or.... yourself!
The artwork is fantastic and unique to this Japanese poster.
An Autumn Afternoon (Japanese: 秋刀魚の味, Hepburn: Sanma no Aji, "The Taste of Sanma") is a 1962 Japanese drama film directed by Yasujirō Ozu for Shochiku Films. It stars Ozu regular Chishū Ryū as the patriarch of the Hirayama family who eventually realises that he has a duty to arrange a marriage for his daughter Michiko (Shima Iwashita). It was Ozu's last film; he died the following year on the day he turned 60.
Today, An Autumn Afternoon is considered by many to be one of Ozu's finest works.
