B3 Size Posters (c. 36 × 51 cm)

B3 posters are a compact Japanese theatrical format, measuring approximately 36 × 51 cm (about 14 × 20 in)—roughly half the area of a standard B2. Often associated with “hanging” display use (sometimes referred to as nakazuri), B3s are easy to frame, perfect for smaller spaces, and highly collectible—especially for titles where the design differs from the larger one-sheets.
