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 partially Japanese movie! Also note that this is a Japanese regional poster. In the mid-1950s, when the Japanese movie industry was first taking hold, posters were made in non-standard sizes, and there would be one poster for the major city release, and a different poster for the regional release. This poster is one created in 1955 for the regional release of this movie in Japan. Finally, note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster appears to have been slightly trimmed (but because this is a regional poster, it is difficult to know how much has been trimmed, and if so, it appears that very little was trimmed as this is the first time we have auctioned one at this size that has a large blank area at bottom). It is very lightly ripped and it has some creases and tiny tears along portions of some edges and someone bordered the back of the poster was conservation tape. It has some snipe remnants at bottom. It is otherwise "all there" after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
