Just arrived: Kagemusha B2 Japanese movie poster featuring Akira Kurosawa art!

Recent acquisition: Kagemusha — Akira Kurosawa art

Akira Kurosawa is well known for sketching his own storyboards in remarkable detail, and he also designed at least a couple different movie posters including this rare find. Note his signature in English at the bottom right. He also designed the B2 and tatekan for Dodesukaden, for those interested. This is a beautiful example on matte thick paper stock with no wear at all. Excellent!
