Original Japanese Movie Posters — 2000s to Present
Explore Japan Poster Shop’s extensive collection of original Japanese movie posters from 2000 to the present day, spanning more than two decades of contemporary cinema, animation and Japanese graphic design.
From the international success of Studio Ghibli and the extraordinary animated worlds of Hayao Miyazaki to modern Japanese cinema, anime, cult classics and Hollywood blockbusters, this collection celebrates the evolution of theatrical poster design in the twenty-first century.
Our collection includes original Japanese posters for acclaimed films such as Spirited Away (2001), Howl’s Moving Castle (2004), Ponyo (2008), The Boy and the Heron (2023) and contemporary Demon Slayer productions, alongside Japanese theatrical campaigns for international cinema, science fiction, horror, action and independent films.
Of particular interest are our rare original Japanese B1 and B2 theatrical posters, including first-release examples, advance promotional designs, unused posters, limited-distribution promotional material and exceptionally scarce variants.
Spanning the 2000s, 2010s and 2020s, these original posters document the changing visual language of modern Japanese cinema, from traditional illustration and distinctive Japanese typography to innovative digital compositions and contemporary graphic design.
Every poster offered by Japan Poster Shop is an authentic original, carefully sourced in Japan and individually catalogued. We do not sell reproductions. All posters are accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, with worldwide DHL Express shipping available from our gallery in Tokyo.
