Kagemusha (released in the U.S. as "Kagemusha, the Shadow Warrior"), the 1980 Akira Kurosawa Japanese samurai warrior war melodrama ("George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola present a film by Akira Kurosawa"; "Palme D'Or Co-Winner best film 1980 Cannes Film Festival"; about a poor thief recruited to impersonate a powerful Japanese warlord who finds difficulty living up to his role and clashes with the spirit of the warlord during turbulent times in the kingdom) starring Tatsuya Nakadai (in the title role as Kagemusha), Tsutomu Yamazaki, Kenichi Hagiwara, Jinpachi Nezu, Hideji Otaki, and Daisuke Ryu
NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
Artist: Akira Kurosawa
Important Added Info: Note that this poster features artwork by director, Akira Kurosawa (whose printed signature is on the artwork at the bottom of this poster)! Also note that this poster was only used when the movie was first released in Japan, and then was replaced by a different poster. This is probably because the Japanese actor Shintaro Katsu was intended to play the lead role, but was replaced by Tetsuya Nakadai. Kurosawa's artwork looks more like Katsu, and this may be why the posters were changed. In any event, this makes this poster difficult to obtain!

Condition: fine. there are the most minor of creases in the poster, but overall it is in really wonderful condition, and it is completley unfolded!
