"Kagemusha", Original First Release Japanese Movie Poster 1980, Extremely Rare B0 Billboard, 102cm x 147cm

This is an original, ultra-rare Japanese B0 billboard poster for the first theatrical release of Kagemusha (影武者), Akira Kurosawa’s epic vision of feudal Japan.

Printed in a massive B0 format (102 × 147 cm), this billboard size is among the most coveted by collectors and cinema connoisseurs—the scale and presence are breathtaking on the wall.

Exceptionally rare: B0 billboards for Kagemusha surface only rarely, making this a top-tier piece for Kurosawa collectors.

The poster has been carefully stored for decades and remains in excellent overall condition for its age, with typical original fold lines and light handling wear visible. Please refer to the images provided—what you see is exactly what you’ll receive.

Directed by the legendary Akira Kurosawa, Kagemusha stars Tatsuya Nakadai in a sweeping Sengoku-era drama in which a condemned thief is forced to serve as a warlord’s double—an operatic story of identity, power, loyalty, and collapse, staged with Kurosawa’s unmatched command of atmosphere, pageantry, and spectacle.

While Kurosawa is world-famous for his samurai epics, Kagemusha stands as one of his most visually striking achievements—moody, monumental, and unforgettable.

It is over 40 years old!
