If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one from the first release of this movie in Japan in all our years of auctioning! Note also 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 to very good. The poster has creases and tiny tears along portions of some edges and the lower left horizontal fold and someone backed them with little pieces of clear tape. The ultra rare poster is otherwise in nice condition!
