“The Chastisement 3: Intoxication Chapter” (ザ・折檻3 陶酔編), Original Japanese First-Release Movie Poster 1985, B2 Size (c. 51.5 × 72.8 cm) H31

This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster produced for the 1985 release of The Chastisement 3: Intoxication Chapter, directed by Marie Aoi, supervised by Gō Ijūin, produced by Yū Productions and distributed by Nikkatsu.

Measuring approximately 51.5 × 72.8 cm, the design combines detailed figurative illustration with oversized red lettering and a predominantly black background, creating a forceful example of Japanese adult-film publicity from the mid-1980s.

Film background

Released in Japan on 26 October 1985, the film was the third instalment in the Sekkan series and was presented under Nikkatsu’s Roman X banner.

The credited cast includes Hitomi Tachikawa, Kaori Harukawa, Nishi Byakuran and Linda. Marie Aoi returned as director following the preceding instalment, with Gō Ijūin again credited as supervisor.

The poster’s emphasis on its series number and Roman X branding places it within a specific strand of Japan’s adult theatrical market, where provocative advertising helped distinguish individual productions and recurring series.

Poster design

The central illustration depicts a blindfolded adult woman against a barred interior, with rope and chain motifs extending across the composition. Carefully rendered shading contrasts with the flat black background and angular red typography.

The Japanese title 「ザ・折檻」—“The Chastisement” runs vertically down the left side. An enormous red “3”, crossed by an illustrated chain, identifies the sequel, while the subtitle appears within an elongated white cartouche:

「陶酔編」
“Intoxication Chapter.”

A narrow red panel at upper right announces:

「驚愕のシリーズ第3弾!!」
“The astonishing third instalment in the series!!”

Across the bottom, the campaign introduces its branding:

「いま、ロマンXが誕生した！」
“Now, Roman X is born!”

Cast and production credits occupy the left margin. No individual poster illustrator is identified in the visible credits.

Cultural significance

This poster documents Nikkatsu’s Roman X theatrical promotion during the 1980s. Its combination of illustrated imagery, emphatic lettering and prominent series branding gives it interest as an example of the graphic language used in Japan’s specialist adult-cinema advertising.

Condition

Very Good / Excellent. The poster retains strong reds, deep blacks and clear illustrative detail. Horizontal folds are visible, with small edge tears and tape reinforcements on the reverse margins.
