B5 Chirashi (Mini Posters) & Pamphlets

This collection features original Japanese B5 chirashi flyers (mini posters) and vintage movie pamphlets—the compact paper ephemera sold and distributed at Japanese cinemas. Chirashi are typically B5-sized (approx. 18 × 25 cm) and often showcase beautiful artwork or alternate designs not used on larger posters. Pamphlets are period programmes, usually packed with photos, credits, essays, and advertising, making them a rich snapshot of the film’s original Japanese release.
