CHIKARA: JoshiMania poster 12 AUTOGRAPHS (2011) Aja Kong Manami Toyota

Description

An original JoshiMania tour poster, from 2011, complete with 12 AUTOGRAPHS from the stars -
Aja Kong, Manami Toyota, Ayako Hamada, Toshie Uematsu, Mio Shirai, Hanako Nakamori, Cherry, Mayumi Ozaki, Sawako Shimono, Gami, Tsubasa Kuragaki
and
Kaori Yoneyama
! This 3-day event truly was "once in a lifetime" as the poster boasts, because getting so many joshi organizations to cooperate on a project of this type took nearly 2 years of coordinating. It proved so stressful, that it's architects - our own Mike Quackenbush and Jumping Bomb Angel Itsuki Yamazaki  - decided to never attempt anything like it again.
The poster is in terrific shape, suitable for framing. The official image for the tour, which had the contractually-mandated larger image of Aja Kong flanked by smaller images of Uematsu, Shirai and Toyota (with the dates and cities below,) was also used in newspaper advertising in Boston and NYC. The back of the poster sports all the autographs.
A notable change to the original JoshiMania plan was the substitution of Ayako Hamada for
Meiko Satomura
, who broke her ankle earlier in the year. Hamada, who was a freelancer at the time, was the only available talent that all the participating joshi companies could agree on, after weeks of negotiations. As expected, Hamada was a true professional in the ring and out. Her match against Sara Del Rey was among the very finest the weekend produced.
This is 13'' x 19'' in size, and the winner will get this poster, and two other posters, chosen at random, as well.
