"Tokyo Story (東京物語)", Original Japanese Movie Poster 1993, OZU Retrospective Re-Release, B2 Size (51 x 73cm) ZA925

This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster produced for a 1993 Japanese “OZU Retrospective” presentation of Yasujirō Ozu’s Tokyo Story (東京物語). Ozu’s 1953 masterpiece—starring Chishū Ryū and Setsuko Hara—is a defining work of Japanese cinema, depicting generational drift and post‑war family change with extraordinary restraint. 

Its reputation is not just “classic” but canon‑level: in the BFI Sight & Sound 2012 poll, Tokyo Story placed #3 in the critics’ poll and #1 in the directors’ poll, underlining its towering influence and enduring cult devotion among filmmakers. 

Poster design
A clean, gallery‑like layout: calligraphic title band across the top (“東京物語”), a beautifully composed still of Noriko and Shukichi below, and a large circular call‑out noting the retrospective / program context (including the “Talking with Ozu” tie‑in on this design). It’s a superb example of how Japanese re‑release posters can feel both museum‑ready and emotionally direct—perfect for framing.
