It was not printed by Daiei, but by a company contracted by them for an alternative printing for the first release (likely in cities other than Tokyo), and it has a slightly different image than the regular Japanese B2. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.
UPDATED 12/11/2019: Note that we incorrectly listed this as a Hong Kong poster when, as the Important Added Info section mentions, this is a Japanese poster. Condition: good. The poster has slight discoloration scattered in some areas from exposure to moisture, however, the slight discoloration is mostly only noticeable on back than on the front. It has a snipe glued over the lower edge. Learn More about condition grades
