This is an original Japanese B2 teaser poster issued in Japan for The Boy and the Heron (君たちはどう生きるか, 2023), Hayao Miyazaki’s long-awaited return and one of the most significant Studio Ghibli releases of the modern era. Presented in deliberately restrained, enigmatic teaser form, this poster reflects the film’s early campaign approach—minimal information, maximum atmosphere—making it a particularly desirable collectible for Ghibli and Miyazaki collectors.
Poster design
A stunning, sketchbook-style key visual that feels like a production drawing brought directly to the wall. The central portrait of the boy—rendered in loose pencil lines with soft watercolour washes—captures Miyazaki’s signature humanism and quiet intensity. The vertical Japanese title 「君たちはどう生きるか」 in vivid red anchors the composition, paired with the credit line 「宮崎駿監督作品」 (“A film by Hayao Miyazaki”). At left, the tagline reads 「友だちを見つけます。」 (“I will find my friends.”), a simple line that lands with enormous emotional weight. A key collector detail appears at the bottom: “NOT FOR SALE”, marking it as a true teaser/promotional issue rather than retail decoration. Minimal, elegant, and exceptionally frame-friendly—a modern classic of Japanese teaser design.
