THRONE OF BLOOD

Japanese B2 (20'" x 29"); Country-of-Origin, English Export Style
Very Fine Folded
Toho, 1957

This is an exceptionally rare export version of a Japanese poster, identical in every aspect except for the English title printed across the top image.

This poster is folded but will be shipped rolled. It shows minor fold wear and slight separation at the lower border. The poster features bright colors and displays well.

Akira Kurosawa adapts William Shakespeare's Macbeth for this powerful drama starring frequent collaborator Toshiro Mifune and Isuzu Yamada. Throne of Blood was the premiere film of the first BFI London Film Festival in 1957, another of several international accolades Kurosawa accrued in the 1950s after the breakthrough global success of Rashomon at the beginning of the decade.
