Note that this Japanese two-panel was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Also note that the theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). Condition: very good. The theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). There is pretty minor wear and some creases on the folds and very minor border wear. Someone put tape on the back of the bottom 5" of the vertical fold where there was separation, and a tiny piece of tape on the back of the top center of the poster, where there was tiny separation. There are some light brown stains on the back of the poster from when the poster was attached to some kind of cardboard or brown paper, but they do not affect the front. After a simple linenbacking by a talented professional, this poster will display wonderfully! Learn More about condition grades
