If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that, immediately after World War II, the U.S. occupied Japan, and many American movies were shown in the late 1940s (until some point in 1950). All of the Japanese posters we have seen from that period have a "Motion Picture Export Association" circular printed logo on the poster, and this only seems to be on these late 1940s posters. Since there were many U.S. servicemen in Japan at this time, these posters have the title written in both Japanese and in English, and they are from the first Japanese release, and such posters from right after World War II are incredibly rare! Condition: very good. There is a thin piece of paper glued to the back of the poster across the bottom edge that has caused and small amount of rippling in that area. There is a 1" tear in the right of the top edge of the poster that has been repaired with tape from the back. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
