Onibaba 1964 Japanese B1x3 Billboard

This is a Japanese B1x3 Billboard (86"x40") for Onibaba, a landmark horror film in Japanese cinema. Onibaba (鬼婆; lit. "Demon hag"), also titled The Hole, is a 1964 Japanese historical drama and horror film written and directed by Kaneto Shindō. The film is set during a civil war in medieval Japan. Nobuko Otowa and Jitsuko Yoshimura play two women who kill infighting soldiers to steal their armor and possessions for survival, while Kei Satōplays the man who ultimately comes between them.

The film is celebrated for its stark, high-contrast black-and-white cinematography and its eerie, atonal free jazz score by Hikaru Hayashi. The poster itself is a rare Japanese B1x3 marquee format, composed of three panels joined together.

Larger Japanese posters such as this one, especially for important films are extremely rare. That makes this Japanese billboard, consisting of (3) overlapping B1 posters, probably the rarest country of origin poster for the film.
