FOR THE SERIOUS 
STUDIO GHIBLI POSTCARD COLLECTOR
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE ARTWORK!

__________________________________________________________________________

Studio Ghibli postcards from the films are typically available, usually many in limited quantities, 
from the main source - the Ghibli Museum, Mitaka, Japan and Ghibli Park, Aichi, Japan. 
Studio Ghibli distinguishes itself by creating films that appeal to both children and adults.
Postcards are also available at Lawson Convenience Shops, Disney and Donguri Republic Stores in Japan.
Postcards are an emotive, tangible representation of affection to the movie 
and which are intricately designed and published featuring
photos and scenes from the film
They last almost forever, generally keep their value and don't degrade much. 
The longer you keep them, the more valuable they could become over time. 

This is especially true for:
 (1) the original vintage postcards from the Ghibli Museum's opening in 2001;
(2) the original postcards from Ghibli Park's opening in 2022; 
(3) postcards demonstrative of the movie campaign from a Studio Ghibli film; 
(4) Original image board postcards; 
(5) original limited edition art postcards;
(6) Studio Ghibli layout drawing postcards; 
(7) postcards from the various artist's art exhibitions throughout Japan, 
making these particular postcards very attractive, in that they are sold only at the venue 
and then their availability ends...so, they can become fairly valuable in time, 
and, (8) postcards by these top Studio Ghibli animators:
 (1) Hayao Miyazaki;
(2) Oga Kazuo;
(3) Takahata Isao;
(4) Nizo Yamamoto;
(5) Goro Miyazaki;
(6) Kondo Katsua;
(7) Kondo Yoshifumi;
(8) Yoshida Noboru;
(9) Hiromasa Yonebayashi;
(10) Hiroshi Ohno;
(11) Yohei Taneda   

Most of the artist's use their original Studio Ghibli paintings for the production of postcards
so that the best possible picture quality is assured.
  This postcard memorabilia not only serves as a physical memento of the movie going experience in Japan,
but
also considered very collectible if their condition is preserved based on their rarity, limited availability,
movie popularity, aesthetic appeal and postcard scene design.
In the old days, people had limited ways to recall and re-experience a movie.
Now, one way for fans to experience the movies they had seen is with postcards from the movie...
and so the postcard culture began to grow and is gradually spreading.

CONCEPT ART ILLUSTRATION  POSTCARD

"KIKI AND JIJI"

is from an authentic Studio Ghibli CONCEPT ART ILLUSTRATION 
from early 1989 
 turned into a postcard and distributed by Animage Magazine
in Japan as a supplement to the September 1989 issue.

 The postcard was originally purchased at the Animage and Ghibli Exhibition
in Tokyo at the Matsuya Ginza in 2021 and opened for the first time
 since its release, so, it is in amazing condition with essentially no
 discoloration from storage, sharp corners and straight clean edges,
no wrinkles or paper distortions, no creases, corner folds or pinholes
and 
no tears or missing pieces...it is fundamentally perfect. 

These Animage Magazine postcards from the 1980s are
 highly prized 
since they are all limited edition to the venue of the issue,
so it would be a great addition to a 
KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE collection.

This CONCEPT ART DRAWING from Hikoshi Ohno
hand-drawn concept art featuring characters and illustrations, 
would later become 
KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE
 which premiered in 1989.   

If you are a true Kiki's Delivery Service postcard collector
who does not have this postcard...check it out!!!
