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.

HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER HANDBILL 

is the original first release issue chirashi handbill from Shinjuku Piccadilly Cinema in Japan
that was available to movie goers when HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER was released June 2, 1973.
HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER was directed by Clint Eastwood and also starred in the movie.
The movie co-starred Verna Bloom, Mariena Hill, Jack Craig, Mitchell Ryan and Stephan Gierasch.
The movie was produced by Malpaso Productions and distributed by Universal Pictures.
The chirashi was designed by Bill Gold and was printed as an original movie handbill for Japan. 

The chirashi was made available only during the venue at the time 
of the initial Japanese screening several years ago,  and now almost impossible to find. 

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, it is not a reprint.

You are receiving the exact chirashi handbill that was available in 
Shinjuku Piccadilly Cinema, Japan.

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

B5 CHIRASI

Grade

Description

Mint

Brand new, unused, flawless is the true meaning of MINT.

We don't grade any of our chirashi as MINT, as we only sell original and authentic theatre-used chirashi. By this very definition, this grade is "LIKE NEW",but 'used' and therefore cannot be TRUE MINT.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Near Mint

Our top grade...most chirashi fall within this catagory.
No substantial or significant flaws.
But, may show very minor signs of handling: soft edges, a light corner fold, minor surface wrinkles.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Excellent

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



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..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unacceptable


We do not sell chirashi in this grade.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Wrinkles are relatively small, unintentional indentations from general handling (most posters have wrinkles), but, does not break or cut through the skin of the poster.
Creases are indentations which break or cuts through the poster.
