Tatouage / Irezumi (90s/00 Re‑Release) French Mini Affiche – Original Masumura

Tatouage (Irezumi, 1966) — original French mini-affiche from the 1990s–2000s art-house re-release, distributed by Bookmakers and Kadokawa. Directed by Yasuzō Masumura and starring Ayako Wakao, the film adapts Jun'ichirō Tanizaki's story Shisei, exploring obsession, beauty, and transformation through the symbol of the spider tattoo.

This re-release artwork features the elegant illustrated portrait of Ayako Wakao revealing the spider tattoo on her back — a striking, painterly design that has become the most recognisable French artwork for the film.

The poster is in very good condition, with no tape, no pinholes, and one central fold as issued.
