Kurosawa's masterwork transposes Shakespeare's "Macbeth" into feudal Japan with stunning visual precision. When samurai Washizu and Miki encounter a spirit's prophecy on their return to their lord's castle, ambition and fate collide. Washizu's scheming wife Asaji manipulates him toward murder and usurpation, setting in motion a tragedy of blood and betrayal. This 1969 revival B2 poster captures the film's haunting atmosphere—a landmark of world cinema that redefined how classical drama could be reimagined across cultures. Essential for collectors of Kurosawa and Japanese cinema history.
