“Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai” (ゴースト・ドッグ), Original Japanese Retrospective Poster 2021, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) O217

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 2021 for the “Jim Jarmusch Retrospective” in Japan, promoting the 1999 film Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai. A scarce, Japan-only design produced in a very small print run for select venues—highly collectible and far less common than the original release materials.

Film background
Jim Jarmusch’s modern samurai noir follows a solitary hitman (Forest Whitaker) who lives by Hagakure-era codes while navigating betrayals in a fading East Coast mob world. With an iconic score by RZA, the film became a late-’90s cult classic blending Zen minimalism, hip-hop, and gangster cinema.

Poster design
Bold, minimalist Japanese artwork: a deep-black field is punctuated by a massive red “G” logotype and the dove motif, with a large rooftop katana still of Whitaker framed in a fine red keyline. “JIM JARMUSCH Retrospective 2021” caps the layout, and the Japanese title “ゴースト・ドッグ” anchors the base—clean, graphic, and unique to this Japan-only retrospective campaign.
