“Battles Without Honor and Humanity: Hiroshima Deathmatch” (仁義なき戦い 広島死闘篇), Original Japanese B2 Poster 1973, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) C191 A

This is an original Japanese B2 poster issued in Japan for Kinji Fukasaku’s ferocious yakuza landmark Battles Without Honor and Humanity: Hiroshima Deathmatch—the second chapter in the celebrated Jingi naki tatakai cycle, and one of the defining films of 1970s Japanese crime cinema. With its ripped‑from-the-headlines intensity and documentary bite, the series rewrote the visual language of gangster films, trading romantic “ninkyō” codes for postwar chaos, factional paranoia, and raw street violence—a reputation that has only grown stronger with time among collectors and cinephiles.

Poster design
A brilliantly graphic, almost “case file” concept: a blood‑red cityscape/terrain field becomes the ground for a black revolver laid across a stark white document, while scattered character portraits read like surveillance stills closing in from every direction. The huge brush‑style title 「仁義なき戦い」 slams across the lower half, contrasted by the bold boxed subtitle 「広島死闘篇」—a perfect distillation of Fukasaku’s hard, modernist yakuza aesthetic.
