ITEM OVERVIEW

Original Japanese B2 theatrical release movie poster for the 1989 sports fantasy drama Field of Dreams (released in Japan in March 1990 under the title フィールド・オブ・ドリームス). Written and directed by Phil Alden Robinson and based on W. P. Kinsella's novel Shoeless Joe, the film stars Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan, James Earl Jones, Ray Liotta, and Burt Lancaster. The striking artwork features Kevin Costner and his onscreen family standing in the iconic Iowa cornfield, topped with bold white Japanese Katakana title typography and the famous tag line "If you build it, he will come."

HISTORICAL RELEVANCE & CONTEXT

Nominated for three Academy Awards—including Best Picture—Field of Dreams remains one of the most beloved sports dramas in cinema history. The story follows Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner), an Iowa corn farmer who builds a baseball diamond in his fields after hearing an enigmatic voice. Distributed in Japan by Toho-Towa in early 1990, original Japanese B2 posters from this initial theatrical release are highly sought after by baseball enthusiasts and modern Hollywood cinema collectors for their distinctive graphic composition.
