Rare Japanese Film images from the 1960s Vintage Black and White

 We own a collection of rare Japanese film images from well know Samurai films of the 1960's. These are the films that inspired so many American films like The Magnificent Seven that was based on a previous film called "Seven Samurai". There are no other collections like this one, we have the original photographs with photographer stamps on the back. Some are stamped with the name of the film and the actors and there are notes from one of our past relatives who was tasked with reviewing these films for the American audience.

You have probably heard the name Toshiro Mifune who was a well known Japanese Actor who also worked on some American films as well. You will notice that some of these vintage images feature films sets that look almost exactly the same as the sets used in the Tom Cruise film The Last Samurai. 

You can see the collection here and please follow / subscribe this blog as we will be adding more images in the future and sharing them here. 

Here is one example, click the image to see the collection:
