This is a beautiful stone litho, Japanese B3 Nakazuri size  Poster (15.25" x 21") for the 1967 Japanese animated film Cyborg 009: Monster Wars (original title: Saibōgu Zero-Zero-Nain: Kaijū Sensō). It was the second theatrical movie based on the manga by Shotaro Ishinomori, serving as a sequel to the 1966 film. This is also a chihoban poster (regional style) poster printed in much smaller quantities for more rural areas of Japan. These beautiful posters had unique art for their regions making theme very distinct and rare.

Shotaro Ishinomori (石ノ森 章太郎, Ishinomori Shōtarō; 25 January 1938 – 28 January 1998), né Onodera (小野寺 章太郎, Onodera Shōtarō), was a Japanese manga artist, cartoonist, writer and director. Known as the "King of Manga" (漫画の帝王 (Manga no Teiō) or 漫画の王様 (Manga no Ōsama)),[2][3] he is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential manga artists of all time.[4][5] Outside of manga he is also one of the most prolific creators in the history of anime, tokusatsu, and Japanese superhero fiction,[6] creating several immensely popular long-running series such as Cyborg 009, the Super Sentai series (later adapted into the Power Rangers series which Ishinomori has also been credited for co-creating), and the Kamen Rider series. He was twice awarded by the Shogakukan Manga Awards, in 1968 for Sabu to Ichi Torimono Hikae and in 1988 for Hotel and Manga Nihon Keizai Nyumon.
