If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this 1951 first release Japanese poster! Note 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" 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, and they are from the first release of that movie in that country. Also note that because this poster was folded oddly (see below), it will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster was lightly folded across the middle and there are some creases in that area. There is also a slightly diagonal fold 5" from the bottom. There is a 1 1/2" tear in the lower right border.
