About the book

Japanese movie posters have long held an elevated position in the world of film. While many countries were still relying on the art of the illustrated poster to draw in crowds, photomontage had already become the characterising stylistic feature amongst Japanese poster designers and artists. With over 400 posters dating from 1960 to the modern day originating from Hollywood cinema to European art films, the posters included make obvious Japan's dominant position in the field of modern film advertising.
