Chirashi

Chirashi are mini-posters, sometimes referred to as flyers or handbills, used to advertise movies in Japan.

Due to the fact they are only available from theaters while the movie is showing,
they are collectible movie memorabilia and rise in value based on age and scarcity.

Chirashi are, in general, high quality poster prints printed on high quality paper.

CHIRASHI ARE USUALLY A B5 SIZE OR ABOUT 18CM X 26CM, PLUS OR MINUS.

 Sometimes, chirashi may be a different format, i.e., two or more sheets folded together joined by a spine.

What's unique about Japanese chirashi posters is that much of the artwork
is custom created for the Japanese market, with a distinctive Japanese design.

The Japanese chirashi poster will often look quite different to the artwork available in other countries...
in many cases the design is superior.

And, some innovative released chirashi includes a fold-out and specialty prints you won't find anywhere else.

Due to their handy size and low cost, they are, by far, the most popular size of posters
among Japanese collectors as well as collectors of movie memorabilia worldwide.



***********************************************************
This is NOT a reprint or reproduction;
This is NOT a video flyer;
This is NOT a retail art print;
This is NOT one of those flyers that sellers copy over & over again;

This is the original chirashi handbill poster from Shinjuku Piccadilly in Tokyo, Japan,
that was available to movie goers when DIRTY HARRY ©1972 Warner Bros
was initially screened beginning February 11, 1972.

It was available inside the theater many years ago during the venue and is now very difficult to obtain.

A very interesting action packed chirashi showing Clint Eastwood/Harry Callahan
with his Smith & Wesson Model 29 Magnum .44 and Andrew Robinson/Scorpio Killer in the center.

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

The chirashi is not cropped nor is it a stock image -you are receiving the exact chirashi handbill
that was available in the Japanese theaters,

This action packed chirashi looks almost like a "mini-poster" of the larger official Japanese movie poster
from DIRTY HARRY...the price, though, is substantially less.

I would condition this chirashi as perfect for a collection...it is an exceptional showpiece.

It would be gorgeous 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;

Really nice!

All of our Chirashi are ORIGINAL PRINTINGS. We do not sell any copies or reprints.

Following evaluation guide by POSTERS FROM JAPAN

B5 / CHIRASHI

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 chiefly for collectors who are fanatical about condition.

Grade Description

Mint

 Brand new, unused, flawless.
We do not 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 visible flaws, but may show very minor signs of age, such as soft corners.
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.
