Do you know if it's a movie poster? Or is it a complete mystery?

Edit: I do see another pic shows it to be a Studio Ghibli animation film poster. Question is.. what size is it?

Yes, it is a movie poster from Studio Ghibli! The movie is The Secret World of Arrietty.

It would be interesting to know where they used this poster...Bus station? Metro?

I really like the landscape format of this poster.

I looked at the link and was trying to see if I could make out/locate the stated dimensions of the poster but I didnt see anything.

Any idea what size it is? It might help to determine how and where it was used.

I have one of these - it's very long! About 80" long and 13.5" tall. I really like it, captures those beautiful hand drawn backgrounds nicely.

Wow, Tob... that is beautiful.

erik1925 · « **Reply #129 on:** September 30, 2016, 01:11:39 AM »

I concur, 1000% - tis beautious indeed!

(And thanks for the dimensions, Tob.)

At just under seven feet long, where would this have been displayed?

Here was one I recently picked up - first time I have seen this for sale. Not a terrible rare poster but you don't often see it.

PINK NARCISSUS Japanese 1993 issue for the legendary 1971 James Bidgood film with Bobby Kendall, Don Brooks. I'm never sure those was this the first issue of the poster in Japan or was it a rerelease. The year of the poster was 93 so nearly 20 years after the films initial release (don't know if the film was ever released earlier in Japan).

I like the artwork created on Pink Narcissus. The figure with the butterfly wings is very cool!

First release of PINK NARCISSUS in Japan was indeed in 1993. It was rereleased there in 2006. Both releases were very limited.

Thought I would post a few of my most recent Japanese posters that I've acquired.

I'm sure there is no introduction needed on this one ........I think it's 1972 edition not sure if that was first or second release. Anyone confirm?

The Trip (1967 1st release I think)

DEATH RACE 2000 B2". 1976

Mondo Kane, (1962)

La Grande Bouffe (Marco Ferrer), B2 1974

Nashville, B2, 1976

The Hidden Fortress [1958, "The Three Enemies (Villians?) of the Hidden Fortress" is the complete name). Some poster images no longer show up on this thread; so, please forgive me if someone already included this poster.

Great looking poster, Mike. The snake is a nice, added touch, too, along with the overall, created distressed look of the poster.

That's pretty cool. I remember looking for the German poster of a movie a friend of mine directed. I found a A0, had it framed and gave it to him for Christmas. He was so happy. He eventually put it in his garage

Peckinpah, that is wild holding your own film's Japanese poster!

peckinpah · « **Reply #141 on:** February 09, 2018, 05:33:10 AM »

Yeah, I love the Japanese. They are crazy: for the DVD release of my film they even produced a Bandana as extra!

Hicks77 · « **Reply #142 on:** February 09, 2018, 08:01:11 AM »

That's awesome Mike! I'll try to rent it next time I go to Tsutaya (The Blockbuster of Japan),

to you!

These images vanished from my earlier post (pbucket, of course)... so uploading them again.

One of my wife's favorite movies, and it really is funny! These are really great poster designs, Jeff! Okie

Does anyone know how important the Eirin Mark is on a Japanese poster? I’ve found 2 very slightly different versions of a poster for a title I collect. One has a very obvious Eirin Mark, the other doesn’t.

I have a feeling they are both original posters but I’m confused by this. Maybe it’s not important or a sign of the legitimacy of a poster?

I know that both posters were released at the same time (original release, film hasn’t had a rerelease) and both are single sided B1s.

There's been some talk about Eirin marks here. Armin aka Posteroid summed it up best:

Quote from: Posteroid on October 26, 2015, 05:21:30 AM

To clarify some confusion about eirin marks: Basically every poster printed after 1965 is required to carry an eirin mark. Exceptions are extremely limited arthouse releases. So the PULP FICTION B2 posted here is definitely no cinema release poster. I believe it was either used for promotions (free gift for the purchase for a cinema ticket for example) or used to advertise the soundtrack CD in music stores.

LAMP also discusses the Eirin mark in this good write up, too.

I have an example too - ‘in the mood for love’ - I have a b1 with an eirin mark and one without. IIRC, they’re both identical other than that (although I should really do a side by side to confirm). I think I discussed with Armin back in the day and he thought the non-eirin mark may have been a give away for the premier or some other promotional tie in (which makes sense, it came from a seller in Tokyo who is legitimate).

Thanks for the pointers. I did look at those threads but although useful, didn't seem to address this issue.

Interesting to hear your experience Tob.

I did a bit more digging and have found images of both styles displayed in Japanese Cinemas. I guess they could be giveaways even if they were displayed in lightboxes in Cinemas though.
