Pinocchio 1952 Japanese STB Tatekan Poster
This is a Japanese STB Tatekan Poster (20" x 58") for the first theatrical release of Walt Disney's Pinocchio in Japan.
While Pinocchio was originally released in the United States in 1940, it did not premiere in Japanese theaters until May 17, 1952. This specific poster is a "Tatekan" (STB) style, which is a tall, two-panel format designed for theater signboards.
Distributed by the Japan branch of RKO Radio Films (as noted by the "日本RKOラヂオ映画 配給" credit at the bottom). The 1952 release was shown in the original English with Japanese subtitles; a dubbed version did not appear until later re-releases in the late 1950s.
