Chirashi

Chirashi are mini-posters, 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,
are usually a single sheet (2 sides) usually a "B5" size or about 18cm x 26cm plus or minus.

 But, sometimes, chirashi may be two sheets folded together.

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.

Here is a beautiful and very rare "advance teaser" Japanese chirashi poster
from STAR WARS: EPISODE IX - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER ©2019 Lucasfilm, Ltd..

This chirashi was available at the time of the intitial Japanese screening on December 20, 2019.

The chirashi was made available inside the theater several years ago during the venue
and now extremely difficult to obtain.

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.

You are receiving the exact chirashi mini-poster that was available in the Japanese theaters.

THE ARTWORK ON THE CHIRASHI

The first final teaser chirashi from Japan for the Star Wars Skywalker Saga (Dawn of Star Wars / Skywalker)
is similar to the previous advance posters from this third sequel trilogy, consisting of a black starry background,
with the Star Wars text logo outlined in Resistance royal blue in the upper middle third of the poster.

The initial sequel teaser poster had a yellow outline on it and the middle film had a red outlined logo.

Among the logo in white lettering is Episode IX's film title - "スカイウォーカーの夜明け".

At the bottom center of the poster, in silver lettering, it simply has "12.20 [金]" 物語は, 完結へ。
as the release date of the film.

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

This chirashi appears as a "mini-poster" from the larger official movie poster from
STAR WARS: EPISODE IX - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER.

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

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

About as good as you will find!

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 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 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.
