Description:
Poster for a Japanese movie (original title: Inochi bô ni furô). The story takes place in feudal Japan, when any commerce with the rest of the world was strictly prohibited. An idealist suddenly appears in an isolated inn (the one that the title refers to), the head-quarters of a group of smugglers, with stolen money intended to ransom his loved one who is forced to work in a brothel.

The author of the poster applied the mixture of burned photography and drawn elements. Typical Japanese symbols appear on the composition: the lanterns in the background with Kanji writing on them and the man wearing traditional Japanese clothing, holding a sword in a typical martial art position.
