This is an original Japanese poster from the first release of Good Morning in 1959.
This STB tatekan poster is from 1959 and is incredibly rare even in Japan.
This almost 5′ tall STB poster features fantastic artwork. The tatekan STB format had much lower print numbers compared to regular Japanese B2s. They are very rare, especially for more popular film titles, and are highly sought after by collectors today.
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).
Yasujiro Ozu is one of Japan`s most celebrated and prolific directors and directed 44 films over a very long career.
