Nikkatsu made and or distributed, on average, about 64 films a year between 1972 and 1987. To promote these films and the actresses that starred in them a lot of advertising was created. In addition to newspaper ads, calendars, pin-up posters, magazine pictorials and articles they also produced ads that look somewhat like a catalog. But unlike catalogs advertising VHS’s and DVD’s these ads were promoting the Nikkatsu brand. They highlighted their large stable of beautiful actresses and their vast catalog of films. These types of ads were also used to announce new films and upcoming new actresses.
“Nikkatsu Roman Pornography - Poster Presentation”
In 1976 if you came across this ad you could have scored a free Roman Porno poster just by filling out a government issued postcard(?) with your name, address, occupation (grade) and the number of the poster you wanted and mailed it to the magazine. Nikkatsu was giving away 30 copies of each poster.
