Akahige / Red Beard (1965) Poster, Japanese


Unframed: 45 x 85 in. (111.3 x 216 cm)


These large Japanese billboard posters hardly ever surface for any films, let alone for a classic Akira Kurosawa film. They were printed in several sheets, and designed to be pasted onto billboards. Therefore only unused examples exist.


Fewer than five known surviving examples.


This Japanese film was directed by Akira Kurosawa, and stars Toshirô Mifune, Yûzô Kayama and Tsutomu Yamazaki. It focuses on the relationship between a doctor and his new trainee.
