"Whisper of the Heart", Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1995, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) M156

This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1995 for the first theatrical release of Whisper of the Heart (耳をすませば), the only feature film directed by Yoshifumi Kondō, produced and scripted by Hayao Miyazaki at Studio Ghibli.

Based on Aoi Hiiragi’s 1989 manga, the coming-of-age romance follows book-loving middle-schooler Shizuku Tsukishima and violin-making apprentice Seiji Amasawa as they chase creative dreams across the western suburbs of Tokyo. Widely praised for its realistic depiction of adolescence, the film inspired the Ghibli spin-off The Cat Returns (2002) and remains one of the studio’s most beloved titles.

The poster shows Shizuku riding pillion on Seiji’s bicycle toward the antique shop “Earth Shop,” with the hilltop house rendered in softly water-coloured background art. The vertical green tagline reads, 「好きなひとが、できました。」 – “I’ve found someone I like.”

It is over 29 years old!
