Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this 1955 first release Japanese press sheet, which has a completely different image, and that was 12 years ago!

We have provided an image of each side of the press sheet. Note that this Japanese press sheet measures 9 1/2" x 20 1/4" [24 x 51 cm]. Also 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.

Condition: good to very good. The poster has some extra folds, with some at a slight diagonal. There is some wear on the folds and a crease in the top left corner (see our image).
