If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare Japanese B1 poster! We have never auctioned a B1 for this movie in all our years of auctioning. Note that this is a rare Japanese "B1" poster that measures 28 1/2" x 40 1/2" [72 x 103 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! Condition: good. The poster has slight discoloration scattered in some areas from exposure to moisture (is is more noticeable in the white letters of the title and in a few other areas. There are a few tears of varying lengths around the edges of the poster that are mostly repaired with tape from the back and some are touched up with marker. Certainly the rare B1 poster could be restored and linenbacked and it would look great, but please bear in mind its defects and cost of restoration before placing a bid.
