THE HIDDEN FORTRESS

Japanese STB (20" x 57.5"); Country-of-Origin
Very Fine Rolled
Toho, 1958

This is a very rare format for this highly collectible film as we have not seen another copy in many years.

This large-format, Japanese double-panel is rolled and shows minimal wear. Besides a few small areas of edge wear and tear, it is in excellent condition.

An action-adventure film directed by Akira Kurosawa, set in feudal Japan, is credited by George Lucas as a major influence on Star Wars. The characters of two peasants (Minoru Chiaki and Kamatari Fujiwara), who escort a general (Toshiro Mifune) and a princess (Misa Uehara), inspired the creation of C-3PO and R2-D2.
