- Summary:
- A tribute to 50 years of unforgettable images and purple prose created by nameless designers at Japanese film studios. Featuring classic posters from Samurai, Ninja, Monster, Sci-Fi, Yakuza, Pink, and Animation movies. As film critic Chuck Stephens observes in his introduction, "the art of the Japanese movie poster-a visual realm where the ridiculous meets the sublime is like nothing one can hope to encounter anywhere else in the world." Inside you'll find 80 full-pace color illustration, expert commentary, and plenty of swords, guns, tattoos, rubber monster suits, school uniforms, cartoon characters, thugs, and sirens.
