“Only Yesterday” (おもひでぽろぽろ), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1991, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) M122A

This is an original Japanese B2 movie poster printed in 1991 for the first Japanese theatrical release of Only Yesterday (おもひでぽろぽろ), a Japan animated film produced by Studio Ghibli, directed by Isao Takahata, based on the manga by Hotaru Okamoto and **Yūko Tone.

Film background
Released in 1991, Only Yesterday is one of Studio Ghibli’s most mature and quietly powerful works—an adult coming-of-age story told through memory. Following Taeko Okajima as she travels from Tokyo to the countryside, the film moves between her present-day life and vivid childhood recollections, capturing the small emotional truths that shape who we become. It’s a defining Isao Takahata film: observational, humane, and deeply Japanese in its sense of place and time.

Poster design
A beautifully restrained, minimalist Japanese B2 that mirrors the film’s reflective tone. On an expansive off-white field, Taeko sits on a station platform reading a red book beside a wicker suitcase and straw hat—simple travel objects that quietly signal transition and self-discovery. The title 「おもひでぽろぽろ」 runs vertically in soft red calligraphy, while the small blue copy at left reads 「私はワタシと旅にでる。」 (“I’m going on a journey with myself.”). The rural station sign 「たかせ」 and the gentle summer light through the windows create a calm, nostalgic mood—an exceptionally displayable Ghibli poster.
