This is an authentic 1993 original Japanese poster for the release of Madadayo (まあだだよ), directed by the iconic Akira Kurosawa. Printed in the B2 size, this poster is a rare piece for collectors of Japanese cinema and Kurosawa’s illustrious body of work.

Madadayo was Kurosawa’s final film, and it reflects deeply on themes of aging, resilience, and the relationship between a teacher and his students. The film portrays the life of Hyakken Uchida, a retired professor, who is honored yearly by his former students. The title “Madadayo” (“Not yet!”) refers to a children’s game, symbolizing Uchida’s defiance of aging and death. Starring Tatsuo Matsumura and Kyoko Kagawa, the film is a poignant reflection on life’s impermanence, beautifully rendered through Kurosawa’s masterful direction.

This B2-sized poster is a must-have for anyone interested in Kurosawa’s films and the enduring themes of human connection and aging.
