"Yokohama Mary" (ヨコハマメリー), Original Japanese Movie Poster 2006, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) ZA851 (Artwork / illustration by Akira Uno (宇野亜喜良))
This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster produced for the Japanese release of Yokohama Mary (ヨコハマメリー)—the acclaimed documentary that investigates the legend of “Mary,” the white-faced elderly prostitute once famously seen around Yokohama, and the memories she left behind after her disappearance.
Design
A stunning, darkly theatrical Uno Akira composition: Mary stands centre-frame in a frilled dress like a haunted relic of the city—her face rendered with an uncanny, mask-like intensity—while a faded, sketch-like figure and soft blush tones ghost behind her. The typography is equally bold: the title ヨコハマメリー slashes across the sheet in aggressive blood-red, contrasted by the cool vertical tagline on the right: 「あなた知ってる? ババのメリーさん」 (“Do you know…? Old Lady Mary”). The overall effect feels like urban folklore turned into poster art—a perfect collision of documentary realism, myth, and late-era Japanese graphic design.
