Description from the seller
黒澤明Akira Kurosawa (1910–1998)
Vintage Limited Edition “The World of AKIRA KUROSAWA Poster Cards” – Complete Set of 30 Unused Postcards (1999)
Shipping method: DHL Express
This official postcard collection, titled “The World of AKIRA KUROSAWA Poster Cards,” was released in 1999 by Japan Post (formerly the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications).
The set was produced to commemorate the 125th Anniversary of Postal Services in Okinawa as a joint project between Okinawa Postal Services and the Tokyo Postal Bureau. Only 100,000 sets were issued and sold exclusively through selected post offices in Japan. The edition sold out quickly and has since become a sought-after collectible among admirers of Japanese cinema.
The collection contains 30 unused postcard reproductions featuring theatrical posters from all of Akira Kurosawa’s films, beautifully printed in full color. It also includes the original presentation box and the accompanying booklet.
An excellent collectible celebrating one of the most influential film directors in cinematic history.
