JAPANESE MOVIE CHIRASHI
ORIGINAL FIRST ED ISSUE 2002

These vintage chirashi, aka, mini-posters, flyers or handbills, were available and typically distributed
in limited quantities inside the movie theaters at the time of the original theatrical release of the film in Japan.
These beautiful chirashi are intricately designed with artwork, characters, and scenes
from the film very similar to the images shown on the larger movie posters.
What is unique about Japanese Chirashi is that much of the artwork is custom
created for the Japanese movie market with a distinctive Japanese design
which will often look quiet different to the artwork available in other countries…
in many cases the design is superior.

CHIRASHI ARE USUALLY SS B5 SIZE (18cm X 26cm) + - PRINTED ON BOTH SIDES.
SOMETIMES, CHIRASHI MAY BE A DIFFERENT FORMAT WITH TWO OR MORE PAGES.

They serve as a physical memento of the movie-going experience in Japan
and are considered very collectible due to their limited availability, aesthetic appeal,
rarity and connection to popular movies.
Most movie chirashi, which are considered used, may have general signs of wear from handling...
for that reason it is indeed rare to find a movie chirashi absent from imperfections and blemishes.
And, it is extremely rare to find a chirashi that appears in like-new condition.
Due to their handy size and low cost they are, by far, the most popular size poster among
Japanese collectors as well as movie memorabilia collectors worldwide.

Offered here is the original issue chirashi handbill from Shochiku Central Cinema in Japan
that was available to movie goers when SPIDER-MAN was released in 2002.

The chirashi was made available during the venue at the time of the initial Japanese screening several years ago.

Please look closely at the photos as it shows the exact chirashi you are buying.

It is not restored, it is not cropped, it is not a stock image.

This collectible poster, printed in 2001 to promote the theatrical release of SPIDER-MAN,
is not a reproduction or a reprint.

You are receiving the exact chirashi handbill that was available in the Japanese theaters.

*************************************************************

This awesome chirashi is actually a micro-poster from the larger official Japanese movie poster from
SPIDER-MAN... it just doesn't have the incredibly high price.

The size of the chirashi is about 25.5 cm x 18 cm.

I would condition this chirashi as ideal for a collection...it would be beautiful framed! 

Overall solid and complete;
Sharp corners and straight clean edges;
No significant wrinkles or paper distortions;
No creases or corner folds;
No pinholes;
No tears, tape or missing pieces;
No marks, stains or fading;
Beautiful, bright, intense colors.

Incredible NM-M condition!

Following evaluation guide by POSTERS FROM JAPAN

B5 CHIRASI

Our B5 Chirashi posters are almost always in Excellent or Near Mint condition.
Where this is not the case, please see the listing for further details.
Due to the fact that Chirashi are generally preserved in excellent condition,
the grading scale is more strict than that usually employed for larger posters.

Note:
If you are buying chirashi for framing then you need not worry too much about our grading,
as all of our posters have no significant defects that would be noticeable when framed.
Our grading is, for the most part, chiefly for collectors who are fanatical about condition.

Grade

Description

Mint

Brand new, unused, flawless. *We don't grade any of our chirashi as Mint, as we only sell original and authentic theatre-used chirashi. By this very definition, they are 'used' and therefore cannot be Mint.

Near Mint

Our top grade. No substantial flaws, but may show very minor signs of age, such as soft corners or surface wrinkles.

Excellent/Near Mint

Not quite "Near Mint", but close to it.

Excellent

No major flaws that detract from the poster, but may have some of the following: tiny or light corner crease, compression indentations from storage, possible minor tear boarder only, age discoloration. Most collectors would be happy with this grade.

Very Good/Excellent

No major flaws but has a number of minor imperfections.

Very Good

Has a visible defect such as a crease, or an accumulation of minor defects. Details of imperfections will be listed. This grade is still more than suitable for framing - but collectors that are fanatical about condition should wait for a better copy to come available. (Bear in mind that we reluctantly stock posters in this grade, and only when it is the best available.)

Unacceptable

Chirashi that show one or more readily visible flaws such as large creases, rips, tape marks, or hole punches. We do not sell chirashi in this grade.
