XXL VERTICAL // $1890 (INCL LINEN BACKING) Meiko Kaji is PRISONER FEMALE SCORPION 701: GRUDGE SONG - ULTRA RARE JAPANESE THEATRICAL RELEASE STB TATEKAN POSTER 🇯🇵

Extraordinarily rare & perhaps the best of all the incredible STB TATEKAN posters for the incredible cult classic series starring the queen of Japanese 70s cool as the lead, Meiko Kaji.

Please note this will be shipped to our linen backing & restoration partner immediately, straight from Japan, along with a few other pieces that need backing. We've figured out a quicker way to get them there and make it happen - but it totally depends on their backing queue & it could take a couple of months to get the job finished - but it will certainly be worth the wait.

SIZE: APPROX 20x60in // 50x140cm
CONDITION: VERY GOOD (LINEN BACKED)

$129: Katsuhiro Otomo presents AKIRA: THE COMPLETE WORKS - CEL EXHIBITION 2023 TOKYO EXHIBITION EVENT PROMOTIONAL POSTER 🇯🇵

This entire OTOMO - THE COMPLETE WORKS project was pretty incredible & was spread across many mediums, one of the best being this exhibition, featuring a massive collection of original AKIRA animation cels - parts of over 160k individual cels that made up the entire film.

Although many ended up in the hands of collectors - Otomo obviously kept thousands of the best of the best... and this was a very rare opportunity for fans to see the creators own collection of some of the best individual frames - literally small parts of the most visually striking scenes that were part of the actual film... pretty bloody incredible.

SIZE: B2 (Approx 50x70cm / 20x30in)
CONDITION: GOOD - VERY GOOD

$250: IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE (2001) JAPANESE 4K 25th anniversary 2026 theatrical release poster 🇯🇵

A very slick poster for WKW's masterpiece - the first release Japanese poster is by a very long way, the most coveted theatrical release poster since the turn of the millennium & I only have my own one left - which I am definitely not selling.

Even the 4k release from a few years ago that I was initially doing in the same B2 format ag this price has now rocketed & I've not seen one available from any licensed supplier for years.

If you're after a Japanese ITMFL poster (which have always been the ones to have as Hong Kong posters have always been very poor in comparison) for a reasonable price - here it is.

I managed to get one only at a price that allows me to sell it at this price & although I have some others on ice, they are going to be more & I'm unlikely to get more that can work at $250. Until fairly recently, Id have jumped on the lot of them, but they aren't cheap buys & I'm being very cautious with inventory buys right now due to the economy.

SIZE: B2 (Approx 50x70cm / 20x30in)
CONDITION: VERY GOOD - EXCELLENT

XL B1 // $799: MIDSOMMAR (2019) V RARE YUKO HIGUCHI ARTWORK JAPANESE THEATRICAL RELEASE VARIANT POSTER 🇯🇵

***AS PER ALL RECENT POSTS - THIS PIECE IS IN JAPAN AND CAN SHIP WITH ALL THE DEPOT CLEARANCE BITS***

The stunning Yuko Higuchi MIDSOMMAR artwork at an absolutely incredible price - I have seen these going for thousands (this is NOT the A24 screenprint - it's the variant Japanese theatrical release poster, it's printed beautifully on a matte off white art card type paper & is definitely more of fine art print quality than 'cinema poster' quality.

I got RIDICULOUSLY lucky here, so do not take this as any sort of benchmark - if I'd bought it and my standard % mark up would have meant I'd have to sell it for $1300, I still would have bought it & I, know it would sell pretty quickly - but to be able to do it for such a ridiculously low price (in relative terms) is something I'm genuinely very happy to facilitate.

ABSOLUTELY NO FLIPPERS/DEALERS/STORES. I CAN SNIFF YOU OUT!!!!

SIZE: XL B1 (APPROX 30x40in/70x100cm)
CONDITION: EXCELLENT

$125: Dario Argento's OPERA (1987) JAPANESE THEATRICAL RELEASE POSTER 🇯🇵

***IN THE JAPAN DEPOT, SO CAN BE SHIPPED WITH THE CLEARANCE STUFF WE NEED TO MOVE OUT OF THERE QUICKLY - SOME PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED BY WHY SOME & NOT OTHERS NEED TO BE CLEARED - IT'S SIMPLY DOWN TO HOW LONG THEY'VE BEEN THERE AS COSTS WILL GET EXPONENTIALLY HIGHER IF THEY DON'T GET SHIPPED QUICKLY***

One of the more difficult to find Japanese Argento pieces -we've only ever had two.

A fantastic soundtrack was a. a big stand out for this film; Roger & Brian Eno were involved, as was regular Argento collaborator Claudio Simonetti (Goblin) & some excellent versions of prolific classical & opera suites.

SIZE: B2 (Approx 50x70cm / 20x30in)
CONDITION: PRETTY GOOD - GOOD

Mint: Brand new appearance. A term used VERY scarcely! 

Near Mint - Mint: The smallest of issues; one miniscule tear of a few mm.

Excellent-Near Mint: A very small touch worse.

Excellent: Excellent! Some very small issues if you look very closely, but still in absolutely incredible condition.

Very Good: I would say this is the lowest serious investment level grade. For decor purposes, it's honestly just as per mint as once it's framed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although we say Very Good is the lowest investment level grade; there are certain pieces that such collectors will make exceptions on if they are especially rare, known to be easily damaged, very old etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good - Very Good: I think you're getting the jist of this now!? Between good (below) & very good (above).

Good: It may have some mild-moderate damage, but it will still frame beautifully.

Pretty Good - Good: Visible flaws - 1cm tears - even when framed but generally only when looking up close when framed.

Pretty Good: Totally passable, but we're definitely firmly out of serious collector/investment grade territory. It will have issues such as very mild fading and/or small stains, tears of 2cm, significant edge wear, surface issues but  see my strict rule of thumb at the very end of this in the notes section.

Fair - Pretty Good: You definitely need to be ok with it looking its age or not being well handled over the years. It will be quite tatty, but certainly not 'tat' - we don't sell tat!!!

Fair: The lowest grade we will sell & you really need to be ok with a weathered look, with heavy patina. However - condition wise, it absolutely still needs to be... see notes immediately below (the pinned reply below - IG character limit will not allow for more).

$199: Katsuhiro Otomo's MEMORIES (1996) RARE JAPANESE LASERDISC RELEASE POSTER 🇯🇵

AKIRA mastermind KATSUHIRO OTOMO came up with this anthology concept, collaborating with some of the most legendary & (then) new & exciting names in anime. The most significant part (of three unrelated films is the Satoshi Kon masterpiece - MAGNETIC ROSE. A truly incredible piece if art that demands to be seen by anyone who loves cinema, even if not typically into animation.

This image is the actual poster. Those are not pins, they are weights - I'll be very honest & say that it's probably not as pristine as it looks here... it's definitely not bad, but it's a somewhat flattering photo - it looks EXCELLENT-NEAR MINT here, but it's a few grades below. Please see next post RE grading. The image was not re-touched whatsoever ; it what was sent to us & the supplier was very honest about this.

SIZE: B2 (Approx 50x70cm/20x30in)
CONDITION: GOOD - VERY GOOD

Special shout to - using your fantastic music for the film here. This is Dave in Bangkok - you DJ'd at my parties a few times after we met at WOMB in Tokyo! Send me a DM please :)

$250: Ken Russell's THE DEVILS (1971) - JAPANESE THEATRICAL RELEASE POSTER 🇯🇵

ANOTHER PIECE IN THE DEPOT THAT IS NOT ONE OF THE CLEARANCE OFFERS, BUT CAN BE SHIPPED WITH THEM.

Actual poster shown - and that really is absolutely spectacular condition for this piece - thin matte white & glossy black are pretty much the two worst 'damage magent' paper types... we've had a few nice ones, but I don't think quiet as nice as this... 55 years old & looking great.

SIZE: B2 (Approx 50x70cm/20x30in)
CONDITION: VERY GOOD - EXCELLENT (AS SEEN)
