Miyamoto Musashi (released in English-speaking countries as "Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto"), the 1954 Hiroshi Inagaki Japanese biographical martial arts samurai action adventure melodrama (this movie and its two sequels were all based on a single novel by Eiji Yoshikawa; it was made into three movies, like Kill Bill!; unlike Mifune's Kurosawa samurai movies, this trilogy was filmed in color, and there are many very complex secondary characters in all three parts; the movies can stand alone, but they are best watched back to back!) starring Toshiro Mifune, Mariko Okada, Rentaro Mikuni, Kuroemon Onoe, and Kaoru Yachigusa. Note that Toshiro Mifune made this movie immediately after "Shichinin no samurai" (Seven Samurai) in the same year. In this movie, he played a samurai named Musashi Miyamoto, who was a well known samurai character in Japanese movies who had already been portrayed in eleven different Japanese movies going back to 1929! After this movie, Mifune appeared as the same character in two sequels in 1955 and 1956, and then the character was played by other actors in 23 more movies and TV shows until 2006. This movie is not well known in the U.S. (although it did have a U.S. release), and we would think it is extremely likely that first release Japanese posters from it are incredibly rare!
