“When Marnie Was There” (思い出のマーニー), Original Japanese B2 Movie Poster 2014, B2 Size (c. 51 × 73 cm) O567

This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster printed for the 2014 release of When Marnie Was There, the Studio Ghibli feature directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi and based on the novel by Joan G. Robinson. The film was one of the studio’s final works before its temporary hiatus and is beloved for its gentle, emotionally rich storytelling.

Film background
Set in rural Hokkaido, the story follows withdrawn city girl Anna, sent to the seaside to recover from asthma and her own feelings of isolation. There she encounters Marnie, a mysterious blonde girl who lives in a mansion across the marsh. As their intense friendship grows, Anna gradually uncovers the truth behind Marnie’s identity and her connection to Anna’s own past. The film explores themes of memory, family and self‑acceptance with Ghibli’s characteristic warmth.

Poster design
This B2 poster captures the film’s quiet magic. Anna and Marnie stand back‑to‑back in the shallows of a sunlit bay, their reflections merging with the ripples at their feet. Soft rays of light break through the clouds above, illuminating the blue‑green sea and distant shoreline. Minimal text frames the image vertically in Japanese, with the pink title “思い出のマーニー” and English subtitle “When Marnie Was There” placed neatly at the bottom alongside credits and the release date. The overall design is serene and contemplative, mirroring the film’s tone.
