If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was printed in two sections and measures 35 1/2" x 60". It seems that Japanese posters were made in this size in the late 1940s and 1950s, but that at some point in the 1950s or early 1960s, they switched from making this size to making modern two-panel posters, which are exactly twice the size of a Japanese "B2", and which we refer to as "Japanese two-panel posters". We do not know if there is an official Japanese term for this size poster (which sometimes varies slightly from the measurements of this poster, and which sometimes can be found in one section or in two sections), but if someone e-mails us further information about this size, we will post it here.
