If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this Japanese movie! Also note that this Japanese B2 poster was printed in Japan, but was intended to be used when the movie was shown in English speaking countries. Finally, 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 poster was tri-folded only and has general fold and border wear. There are a few tiny edge defects but otherwise it is in pretty nice condition!
