Rather than promoting the original 1997 theatrical run, this poster was created to advertise the film’s home video launch on \u003cstrong data-start=\"419\" data-end=\"434\"\u003e21 November\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it a distinct and highly collectible piece of early Ghibli DVD-release ephemera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"525\" data-end=\"1248\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"525\" data-end=\"544\"\u003eFilm background\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"544\" data-end=\"547\"\u003eReleased theatrically in \u003cstrong data-start=\"572\" data-end=\"580\"\u003e1997\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong data-start=\"582\" data-end=\"603\"\u003ePrincess Mononoke\u003c\/strong\u003e became a watershed moment in Japanese animation and one of the defining films of Miyazaki’s career. Set in a mythic late-Muromachi world of forest gods, curses, war, and industry, it follows \u003cstrong data-start=\"795\" data-end=\"807\"\u003eAshitaka\u003c\/strong\u003e as he is drawn into the conflict between the human world and the spirits of the natural realm, where he encounters \u003cstrong data-start=\"923\" data-end=\"930\"\u003eSan\u003c\/strong\u003e, the wolf-raised girl known as Princess Mononoke. By the time this poster was issued, the film was already firmly established as one of Studio Ghibli’s greatest achievements, and this home video campaign marked its transition from major theatrical event to an essential title for Japanese collectors and home viewers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1250\" data-end=\"1971\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1250\" data-end=\"1267\"\u003ePoster design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1267\" data-end=\"1270\"\u003eThis is a beautiful and highly recognisable design built around one of the film’s most iconic forest images: \u003cstrong data-start=\"1379\" data-end=\"1431\"\u003eSan riding Moro through a kodama-filled woodland\u003c\/strong\u003e, surrounded by deep greens and luminous natural detail. The image has a rich, atmospheric stillness that perfectly reflects the mysterious spiritual world of the film. The top branding identifies the release as part of the \u003cstrong data-start=\"1655\" data-end=\"1687\"\u003e“Ghibli ga Ippai Collection”\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the lower section advertises the \u003cstrong data-start=\"1728\" data-end=\"1746\"\u003eDVD 3-disc set\u003c\/strong\u003e and includes images of the packaging and bonus-disc contents.
