Japanese Speed (13.5" x 29"); Country-of-Origin
Very Fine Folded; Artwork by Guen
Toho, 1952

This charming and rare Japanese poster for the Kurosawa classic is folded but will be shipped rolled. The poster, which is printed on both sides, has a small area in the center that is brittle and exhibits flaking, yet it is not overly distracting.

Kurosawa's poignant masterpiece depicts the life of a man who has led a dull and ordinary existence. Upon discovering that he is dying, he resolves to make the most of his remaining days. However, he quickly realizes that leaving a lasting legacy is more important.
