Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "country of origin" poster for this Japanese movie! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Condition: very good. The poster was lightly tri-folded at one time. There were some tiny creases and a few tiny tears on those folds. There were a few scuffs in the image and pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed, and looks great! Learn More about condition grades
