Had to look for some info regarding Japan and Maradona. Found that:
"...Maradona returned to Japan three more times as part of the near-annual Xerox Super Soccer event, which pitted Japan’s national team or Japan Soccer League selections against some of the world’s most famous clubs. The first such trip was in 1982, when Boca Juniors beat Japan twice and drew once at games held in Tokyo and Kobe."
Maybe the picture you found belongs to one of these trips to Japan.
I watched Maradona in the 1986 world cup in Mexico and watched him.play in Naples, i visited Naples in 1987 just after Naples won the Italian league with Maradona, the whole city was painted with his face and name.
RIP Diego Armando Maradona
