Poster design
A dynamic collage composition features the stoic faces of Ken Takakura and co-stars across the top and bottom, framing the central figure of Sumiko Fuji in kimono, weapon in hand, embodying the deadly grace of the Red Peony. The bold brush-stroke title 「緋牡丹博徒 鉄火場列伝」 runs vertically in vivid red and yellow, anchoring the dramatic layout. Supporting cast names are listed along the lower margin, typical of Toei’s late-1960s design style.
