Studio Ghibli’s official filmography records the film’s Japanese release as \u003cstrong\u003e29 July 1989\u003c\/strong\u003e, with \u003cstrong\u003eHayao Miyazaki\u003c\/strong\u003e credited as \u003cstrong\u003eproducer, screenwriter, and director\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJoe Hisaishi\u003c\/strong\u003e for music, and principal voice cast including \u003cstrong\u003eMinami Takayama, Rei Sakuma, Kappei Yamaguchi,\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eKeiko Toda\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is an \u003cstrong\u003eofficial Tokuma Shoten promotional issue\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than a cinema poster. That conclusion is supported by the printed \u003cstrong\u003eTokuma Shoten “C” seal\u003c\/strong\u003e on the reverse, the copyright line \u003cstrong\u003e© 角野栄子・二馬力・徳間書店\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the absence of theatrical billing. It is therefore best described as an \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal licensed Japanese promotional poster from the period of release or shortly thereafter\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is an important distinction for collectors. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is particularly attractive. It presents \u003cstrong\u003eKiki and Jiji seated on the broom\u003c\/strong\u003e against one of the film’s European-inspired cityscapes, with the oversized golden shop sign behind them creating a striking compositional frame. Compared with the more widely seen theatrical imagery, this poster feels \u003cstrong\u003ecleaner, quieter, and more design-led\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it especially appealing as a piece of \u003cstrong\u003eStudio Ghibli wall art\u003c\/strong\u003e. The simplicity of the image also captures what makes the film so enduring: its warmth, independence, and sense of youthful possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKiki’s Delivery Service\u003c\/strong\u003e remains one of Miyazaki’s defining early masterpieces: a coming-of-age story about work, loneliness, confidence, and self-discovery. It has long been one of the most admired titles in the Ghibli canon, and original Japanese paper connected to the film remains highly sought after. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVery Good condition.\u003c\/strong\u003e Please study the photographs carefully, as they show the exact poster for sale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have taken the condition into account when pricing.
