Original Japanese film poster for ‘Kyodai Jingi: Kanto Inochi Shirazu’ (Brothers’ Duty: Kanto – Unaware of Death), a yakuza/samurai action film produced by Toei (ζ±ζ ) studios. The tall, narrow format poster β likely a daisen or sottoban style β features dramatic composite portraiture of four male actors in black-and-white photography arranged across a diamond/X compositional device in the upper half. Bold red brushstroke calligraphy dominates the lower title text, contrasted against a clean white background with an accent of painted red. The tagline in orange reads approximately ‘When eyes meet, no words are needed β another life has been added to the three brothers.’ The director credit reads Yamashita Kosaku (ε±±δΈθδ½), and the cast includes Kitajima Saburo, Tsuruta Koji (ιΆ΄η°ζ΅©δΊ, listed as special appearance), Murata Hideo, and others. The bottom of the poster features a color scene still of two men in traditional Japanese kimono holding swords. The Toei logo and ζ ε« (Eirin film rating board) mark appear in the upper right corner. A visually striking example of classic Japanese studio genre cinema marketing from the mid-1960s.
Visible horizontal and vertical fold lines consistent with original storage. Some light creasing across the upper portrait section. Minor surface wear visible in close-up shots. No visible tears, tape residue, or significant foxing apparent from photos.
