This original B0-sized Japanese billboard poster for Gamera vs. Jiger (ガメラ対大魔獣ジャイガ) is a striking example of 1970s kaiju cinema promotion. Directed by Noriaki Yuasa, this 1970 entry in the Gamera series pits the giant, fire-breathing turtle Gamera against Jiger, a powerful new foe wreaking havoc on Expo '70 in Osaka.
This B0 poster is exceptionally rare, originally used for theatrical promotion and not intended for public sale. It was sourced directly from Japan, from a second-generation film poster trading business. Large-format billboards like this were produced in limited quantities, and few have survived.
The design features bold, action-packed imagery, including Gamera and Jiger locked in battle, dramatic destruction, and supporting cast reactions, perfectly capturing the thrill and spectacle of classic kaiju films. Posters like this were displayed outside theaters to attract audiences, making them an important part of Japan’s cinematic history.
This billboard is a notable piece for those interested in Japanese film memorabilia, kaiju cinema, or Gamera’s legacy. Posters of this size and era are difficult to find, making this a significant item for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
