Important Added Info: This Japanese poster measures 20" x 28 1/2" and is linenbacked. Note that this is a rare "country of origin" poster for this Japanese documentary! Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had a couple of tiny creases and tears in the borders, but otherwise, the poster was in quite nice condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and looks great!
