If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned one example of this poster before and that was 19 years ago! Also note that this Japanese two-panel was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Also note that this poster was tri-folded only (which means there is no vertical machine fold) but because it would be more expensive to send flat, it will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: good to very good. The top section has had the lower edge folded back at one time and there are some small tears of varying lengths around the edges that have been repaired with tape from the back. The bottom section is in pretty nice condition. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and after a simple linenbacking the ultra rare poster will look great!
