Very Fine+ Rolled
Toho, 1962

Original release Japanese posters for Sanjuro are incredibly rare, and this is the very rare country of origin export style with English titles.

This country-of-origin export poster features English titles and has been professionally linen-backed with minimal touch-ups along various fold lines.

Toshiro Mifune reprised his role as the wandering ronin Sanjuro Tsubaki in the sequel of Akira Kurosawa's 1961 movie, Yojimbo. In this movie, Sanjuro comes to the aid of a group of young samurai who are fighting against a corrupt superintendent. The movie proved to be a huge hit and was more financially successful in Japan during its release than even King Kong vs. Godzilla.
