If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this Japanese B3 poster measures 14 1/4" x 20 1/4" [36 x 51 cm] but it also has a snipe at bottom that extends it to 14 1/2" x 24 3/4". 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. Note finally that, immediately after World War II, the U.S. occupied Japan and part of Germany, and many American movies were shown in both countries between 1945 and the end of the occupation. Most of the Japanese posters we have seen from that period and many of the German posters and programs from the same period have a "Motion Picture Export Association" (MPEA) circular printed logo on the poster or program, and apparently this was a program run in conjunction with the U.S. government. Since there were many U.S. servicemen in Japan and Germany at this time, many of these posters and programs have the title written in both Japanese (or German) and in English. Condition: good to very good. There is a snipe at lower center that extends the poster (see above). It has creases and tiny tears along portions of some edges but there is a slightly larger tear at upper right in the blue background that has been repaired with tape from the back. The very rare poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
