Beautiful classic posters in a SUPER format!,
By
This review is from: Japanese Movie Posters: Yakuza, Monster, Pink and Horror (Paperback)
If you buy one book on Japanese cinema this year, this is it. They have done a terrific job of laying out the history of Japanese film in poster format, in correct color no less, witha lot of useful information for the Japanese film buff, and collector since many of the posters are available to order right from this publication. My only comment is when will their next book be issued? Enjoy!

Wonderfully Wacky Posters -- Nothing Like It!!,
By Jon Lomax (NY, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Japanese Movie Posters: Yakuza, Monster, Pink and Horror (Paperback)
I discovered this new book put out by Tokyo-based DH Publishing by accident. And am glad I did. Chock full of full-page full-color posters of the most wonderfully wackiest of Japan's classic movie posters. There's everything from Horror and Monster to Samurai and Ninja, Pink (what they call soft porn) to Anime, and even some new posters thrown in. My best is easily the Sci-Fi genre, which includes the ultimate Ultraman. Also, you gotta check out some of the Monster posters, like Godzilla and some huge Ice Man creature. I bought two of these, as I knew it would make that perfect present when you've run out of ideas what to buy someone. DH Publishing arigato! I'm going to check out their other books. I hope they're as good!

An unforgettable slice of Japanese popular culture,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Japanese Movie Posters: Yakuza, Monster, Pink and Horror (Paperback)
Japanese Movie Posters: Yakuza, Monster, Pink And Horror is an eye-opening, full-color presentation of movie posters representational of the best and the worst of Japan's cinema. From lurid and graphic horror to yakuza movies to posters of Hayao Miyazaki's wondrous words of animation, Japanese Movie Posters offers an unforgettable slice of Japanese popular culture in the twentieth century. Brief yet erudite and scholarly commentaries by Chuck Stephens (contributing editor to "Film Comment", a columnist for "Kinema Junpo, and a freelance specialist in Asian cinema for publications worldwide), Tetsuya Masuda (vintage poster expert and head of the cinema section of wonder antiquarian books), and Kairakutei Black (a Japanese film critic and traditional "rakugo" comic storyteller) offer informed and informative insights into the psychology and media background of the individual posters round out this impressive collection. A unique compendium of cinematic poster art, Japanese Movie Posters is a welcome and highly recommended addition to any personal or academic Cinematic Studies reference collection.
