Film background
Based on Eiko Kadono’s novel, Kiki’s Delivery Service follows 13‑year‑old witch Kiki and her cat Jiji as she leaves home, settles in a seaside city, and starts an airborne delivery service from a local bakery. The film’s gentle coming‑of‑age story, lush backgrounds, and warm tone made it a major hit in 1989 and a cornerstone of Studio Ghibli’s international reputation.

Poster design
This B2 uses a serene bakery tableau: Kiki leans on the counter, chin resting on folded arms, while Jiji sits upright beside her. Behind them, shelves are packed with rustic loaves rendered in rich browns and ambers, giving the scene a cozy, lived‑in atmosphere. The Japanese title 魔女の宅急便 appears discreetly in white at the upper left, letting the artwork dominate the composition. Reflected through the shop window at the bottom, we glimpse the street outside, a parked car, and Kiki heading out with a delivery—subtly suggesting the bustle of her new life beyond this quiet moment of reflection.
