This is an original Japanese B2 poster for Kiki’s Delivery Service (魔女の宅急便), the beloved 1989 Studio Ghibli film based on Eiko Kadono’s novel. Studio Ghibli’s official filmography records the film’s Japanese release as 29 July 1989, with Hayao Miyazaki credited as producer, screenwriter, and director, Joe Hisaishi for music, and principal voice cast including Minami Takayama, Rei Sakuma, Kappei Yamaguchi, and Keiko Toda.

This example is a licensed Japanese promotional poster issue rather than a cinema poster. That is supported by the unusual English-language text layout, the decorative design treatment, and the lower copyright line reading © Eiko Kadono / Nibariki / Tokuma Shoten / Movie K.Y., together with the Tokuma Shoten “B” seal visible in the lower right. 

The image is wonderfully appealing. Kiki and Jiji are shown flying over the European-inspired city of Koriko, one of the film’s most recognisable settings, rendered in the bright, airy palette that makes this title so enduring. It is an especially attractive format for collectors who appreciate Studio Ghibli ephemera beyond the standard cinema-release sheets.

Kiki’s Delivery Service remains one of Miyazaki’s defining works: a gentle yet profound coming-of-age story about independence, work, loneliness, and self-belief. Its emotional warmth and visual elegance have made it one of the most loved titles in the Ghibli canon, and original Japanese paper connected to the film continues to be highly sought after.

Condition

Very Good / Excellent condition. The poster presents beautifully, with clean colour, strong paper quality, and very good overall display appeal. There is light handling wear consistent with age, including minor edge wear visible at the lower margin, but overall it remains a highly displayable original example. Please study the photographs carefully, as they show the exact poster for sale.

A beautiful original Japanese Kiki poster, especially appealing for collectors of Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki, and period licensed anime paper from Japan.
