The kaiju genre is a subgenre of tokusatsu (特撮, \"special filming\") entertainment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 1954 film Godzilla is commonly regarded as the first kaiju film. Kaiju characters are often somewhat metaphorical in nature; Godzilla, for example, serves as a metaphor for nuclear weapons, reflecting the fears of post-war Japan following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Lucky Dragon 5 incident. Other notable examples of kaiju characters include Rodan, Mothra, King Ghidorah and Gamera.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(Source: Wikipedia)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"inch\"\u003eSize 63.00 x 88.00 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"inch\"\u003eIt is 56 years old!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlease refer to the imagery as this is the exact poster that is for sale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is not a reproduction or a reprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCertificate of Authenticity included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Japan Poster Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43114585391349,"sku":"","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/8859\/4591\/products\/Minimal_room_with_sofa_and_cabinet.jpg?v=1660718154"},{"product_id":"godzilla-original-release-japanese-movie-poster-1998-b2-size-51-x-73cm","title":"\"Godzilla\", Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1998, B2 Size (51 x 73cm)","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is an original Japanese poster printed in 1998 for the first release of Godzilla.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGodzilla is a 1998 American monster film directed and co-written by Roland Emmerich.
