“Kiki’s Delivery Service” (魔女の宅急便), Original Japanese Promotional Poster 1989, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) P102

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1989 for Hayao Miyazaki’s beloved Studio Ghibli feature Kiki’s Delivery Service, produced by Nibariki/Studio Ghibli and released domestically through Toei. Set in the seaside city of Koriko, the film follows 13-year-old witch Kiki and her cat Jiji as she finds her independence and purpose.

This particular sheet is a genuine piece of period Ghibli ephemera: it was issued as a magazine supplement—アニメージュ’89・8月号 第2ふろく (Animage ’89 August issue, 2nd supplement)—with the printed publication date 平成元年8月10日発行 (10 August 1989). The artwork also carries the copyright line ©角野栄子・二馬力・徳間書店 (Kadono Eiko / Nibariki / Tokuma Shoten).

Design
An exhilarating bird’s-eye panorama: Kiki soars above the red-roofed harbor city on her broom, Jiji perched in the satchel, escorted by wheeling seabirds. The elegant pink title 「魔女の宅急便」 sits at the top, while the vertical caption reads: 「おちこんだりもしたけれど、私はげんきです。」 (“I’ve had some rough times, but I’m doing okay.”) — one of the most beloved lines in the Studio Ghibli universe.

Condition
Very Good. Please review the photos—they show the exact poster for sale. Folded as issued (typical for an Animage supplement poster), with minor handling/storage wear consistent with age. We have taken the condition into account when pricing. Once framed, this poster will display very well.

Authenticity
Important note: many official modern reproductions of Kiki’s Delivery Service imagery circulate (often sold inexpensively in Ghibli shops). The example offered here is an original 1989 Japanese promotional printing issued as an Animage supplement—not a later shop reprint—so you can buy with confidence.
