Important Added Info: Note that someone mounted this poster onto a very thin linen backing with no excess. It is not "linenbacked" in the modern sense, but it does have that backing, so bear that in mind before placing a bid on it. Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this Japanese movie! Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 28 1/4" x 39 3/4" [72 x 101 cm]. Also note that this Japanese B1 poster was printed in Japan, but was intended to be used when the movie was shown in English speaking countries. Finally, note that this is a rare Japanese "B1" poster that measures 28 1/4" x 39 3/4" [72 x 101 cm]! "B1" posters are FAR more rare than "B2" posters (which measure approximately 20" x 28 1/2"), and because they are larger (similar in size to a U.S. one-sheet), they are more impressive when displayed on a wall!
