“Snake and the Female Slave” (蛇と女奴隷), Original Release Movie Poster 1976, B2 Size (51 x 73cm) I101 A

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed c. 1974 for the first theatrical release of Snake and the Female Slave (蛇と女奴隷), a pink-eiga (成人映画) feature directed by Kan Mukai (向井寛). Japanese adult-cinema posters from this era are highly collectible for their hand-drawn illustration, modest print runs, and low survival rate.

Film background
Part of the early-1970s boom in independent adult films, Mukai’s works blended erotic melodrama with stylised visuals and jazzy editing. Snake and the Female Slave pivots on themes of desire, domination, and obsession—typical of the period’s pink-eiga storytelling—crafted for Japan’s specialty theatres on limited engagements.

Poster design
A powerful, hand-rendered illustration fills the sheet: a bound heroine arched across a mauve ground, drawn in pencil and wash. The jagged brush title 「蛇と女奴隷」 climbs the left in striking red, while provocative teal copy runs vertically at right. Footer credits include the 成人映画 designation and 映倫 rating mark—classic hallmarks of 1970s adult-theatrical advertising.
