About the Film This is the 37th installment in the Godzilla series and the 30th live-action film produced in Japan. It marks the first domestic live-action Godzilla film in seven years since Shin Godzilla and serves as a celebration of Godzilla's 70th anniversary. The movie won the Visual Effects Award at the 96th Academy Awards, making history as the first Japanese and Asian film to do so. About the Artist Born in 1964 in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, Takashi Yamazaki was deeply influenced by Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind during his childhood, leading him to pursue a career in special effects. After graduating from Asagaya College of Art and Design, he joined Shirogumi Inc. in 1986. Yamazaki worked on SFX and digital compositing for films directed by Juzo Itami, such as The Last Dance (1993) and A Quiet Life (1995). He made his directorial debut with Juvenile in 2000 and became a pioneer in visual expression and VFX using advanced CGI. His film Always: Sunset on Third Street (2005) depicted a lively and nostalgic Showa-era neighborhood using VFX, earning widespread acclaim and winning 12 awards, including Best Picture and Best Director at the 29th Japanese Academy Awards. His works The Eternal Zero (2013) and Stand by Me Doraemon (2014) received numerous accolades, including Best Picture and Best Animated Film at the 38th Japanese Academy Awards, respectively. He is regarded as one of Japan’s leading film directors. 【Shipping Method】 Items are usually shipped via airmail through the post office, with a tracking number provided. However, for high-value items or multiple purchases, we may use FedEx Express, which offers faster delivery and higher coverage. 【Common Post-Shipping Issues】 When shipping through the post office, there are often cases where the system integration between Japan Post and the postal service of the destination country does not work smoothly. On eBay, tracking data is synchronized with Japan Post, so the status may remain as "Awaiting Customs Clearance" without any updates. In reality, the package is progressing, but due to these system issues, the status does not change. You can obtain accurate tracking information by entering the tracking number on the destination country’s postal service website. 【Packaging Method】 To minimize the risk of damage during transit, purchased posters are packaged as follows: ・The rolled poster is placed in an OPP bag. ・The sides of the rolled poster are protected with cushioning material to prevent wrinkles or damage. ・The poster is placed in a sturdy cardboard tube. The tube we use is thicker than those commonly sold at hardware stores. While the standard tube thickness is 1mm, we use tubes that are 2mm thick. (Square cardboard boxes can be crushed when stacked or mishandled by couriers, but the cardboard tube we use ensures proper protection.) ・For valuable or rare posters, an additional outer box is used to further minimize the risk of damage. 【 Points to note about customs duties 】 All products we sell are shipped from Japan. Import duties, taxes, and other charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.
