Artist: S. Neil Fujita Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned one example in all our years of auctioning (and now that very same poster has been reconsigned to us for this auction, so it is still the only example we have ever auctioned!). Condition: fair. The poster is in lesser condition. It has discoloration scattered in various areas due to exposure to moisture and the elements. It has smudges and scuff marks in some areas and defects and areas of surface paper loss in portions of the central artwork and there is separation with associated paper loss in the upper vertical foldline edge. Someone painted over some of the staining at upper left in the blank area, and then began touching up some of the defects in the artwork with black marker. No further amateur restoration was performed. Certainly one could wish to find a better example of this ultra-rare poster, but it is mostly "all there" and after linenbacking with proper restoration it would look great (but bear in mind the cost of restoration and its defects before placing a bid).
