Date Sold 5/26/2020Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Japanese Movie Poster (measures 21" x 29 3/4" [53 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) Yokihi (released in the U.S. as "Empress Yang Kwei Fei" and released in other English-speaking countries as "Most Noble Lady"), the 1955 Kenji Mizoguchi Japanese/Hong Kong historical romantic melodrama ("The story of a serving maid too beautiful to be true... even to an emperor!") starring Machiko Kyo (in the title role as Empress Yang Kwei Fei; billed as "Starring the Japanese enchantress of 'Gate of Hell' and 'Rashomon' Machiko Kyo"), Masayuki Mori, and So Yamamura NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a Japanese regional poster. In the mid-1950s, when the Japanese movie industry was first taking hold, posters were made in non-standard sizes, and there would be one poster for the major city release, and a different poster for the regional release. This poster is the one created in Tokyo in 1955 for the regional release of this movie in Japan. What makes this particular example very rare is that while we have auctioned only five examples of the poster, we surmised that each was likely trimmed and probably once had a blank area at bottom for theaters to write information on, and that was correct as this is the first time we have auctioned this poster that has NOT been trimmed and has the large blank area at bottom (and this very rare example has never been folded!). Condition: good to very good. The poster has spotty discoloration around the edges but the majority of the images are in pretty nice condition with just some light creases scattered in various areas (see our image). It has creases and tiny tears along portions of some edges with a few lager tears near the lower edge (one is repaired with tape from the back at lower left). After a pretty simple linenbacking this very rare poster will display really well in its new owner's wall! Learn More about condition grades
