If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the poster is double-sided, but not in the regular U.S. way! This smaller Japanese poster has lots of black & white images on the reverse, along with much text information (in Japanese). Note that, because the poster is linenbacked, you can no longer read the text information from the reverse, although it slightly bleeds through to the front in the light areas (see below). Condition: good to very good. The poster had been folded in half, and there were creases along that foldline and some minor border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but you can slightly see faint bleed through from the writing on the back. This is only in the light background area at the top of the poster and in the white background area at the bottom of the poster. It is only slightly distracting (I would think most people would not even realize what it was). Please read our description carefully and look at our super-sized image, and do not bid on this poster if the bleed through described above would bother you! Learn More about condition grades
