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 the original chirashi from TOHO Cinemas in Japan, that was available to movie goers,
when STAR WARS ANTHOLOGY: A STAR WARS STORY (ROUGE ONE) was released in 2016.

The chirashi was made available inside the theater, at the time of the initial Japanese screening
several years ago, during the venue and now difficult to obtain.

This is an original issue chirashi from Japan for the American space epic opera film,
STAR WARS ANTHOLOGY: A STAR WARS STORY (ROUGE ONE) .
The movie, directed by Gareth Edwards and produced by Lucasfilm LTD, was released on December 15, 2016.
The chirashi features the main cast of Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, and Donnie Yen,
and was distributed by Walt Disney.
The chirashi is in NM-M condition, as indicated at the bottom of the listing.
The artist/designer is Bond Enterprises, and the genre is obviously a space epic opera film.
The flat rate charge for continental USA is $5.00, and it is important to note that this is an original chirashi from Japan. The chirashi is a prequel to Star Wars Ep IV: A New Hope, and is part of the Star Wars series.

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

It is not cropped or a stock image - you are receiving the exact chirashi
that was available in the Japanese theaters.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CHIRASHI ARTWORK

The official theatrical chirachi for STAR WARS ANTHOLOGY: A STAR WARS STORY (ROUGE ONE)  
features the massive looming Death Star with the haunting visage of Darth Vader within its design at the top. 

Jyn Erso, showing the schematics shadow projected on the side of her face and shoulder, along with her band of Rebels, 
and with Orson Krennic and Saw Gerrera, centered below and in the middle of the dark Imperial space station, 
while TIE-strikers, TIE-fighters, U-wings, and X-wings are taking flight around the films title logo 
"ローグ・ワン: Star Wars Story". 

The tagline on the right says, "ー もうひとつの'スター・ウォーズ。" (- Another 'Star Wars.'). 

And the tagline on the upper left says, "希望は, 死なないー。" (Hope does not die.). 

The bottom of the poster finds the striking image of Stormtroopers wading in the waters of Scarif, 
the principal construction facility for the vast Imperial war machine, with AT-ACT walkers following close behind. 

The release date (Japan - 12月16日(金) 全世界同時公開), cast and credits, 
along with different viewing formats of the movie are found at the bottom center in white lettering, sitting on top of the blue surf.

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 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.
