Chirashi are intricately designed with artwork, characters, and scenes from the film very similar to the images shown on the larger movie posters. What is unique about Japanese chiarashi is that much of the artwork is custom created for the Japanese movie market with a distinctive Japanese design which will often look quiet differently to the artwork in the United States and other countries...in many cases the design is superior. CHIRASHI ARE USUALLY DOUBLE SIDED AND B5 SIZE (18cm X 26cm). SOMETIMES CHIRASHI MAY HAVE TWO OR MORE PAGES. Chirashi's serve as a physical memento of the movie-going experience in Japan and are considered collectibles due to their CONDITION, RARITY, LIMITED AVAILABILITY, MOVIE POPULARITY, AESTHETIC APPEAL AND POSTER DESIGN. Movie chirashi are considered “used” the moment someone picks it up to view, and, therefore, may have general signs of handling such as edge wear, wrinkles, creases, a minute chip or unobtrusive smudges. For those reasons it is indeed rare to find a movie chirashi absent from imperfections and blemishes. However, some chirashi's are unused and remain in the bin. These unused chirashi's, if handled, protected and stored away properly, will remain highly sought after. Many unused chirashi's are very rare with the perfect ones usually graded in NM-M “used” condition. Due to their handy size and low cost they are, by far, the most popular size poster among Japanese collectors as well as movie memorabilia collector’s worldwide. This is NOT a reprint or reproduction! This is NOT a video flyer! This is NOT a retail art print! Get your hands on this very rare and original 1980 first release issue chirashi handbill from TOHO Cinemas, Tokyo that was available to movie goers when APOCALYPSE NOW was initially screened on February 23, 1980. This scarce chirashi handbill scene of Captain Benjamine Willard rising up from the Nung River was designed and artwork by Lurent Durierur and was made available inside the theater several years ago during the venue and now difficult to obtain.APOCALYPSE NOW stars Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, Martin Sheen, Dennis Hopper and others. The handbill is in great condition and has been well-preserved, measuring 18cm x 26.5cm. This movie was distributed by United Artist, produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola and is a great addition to any movie memorabilia collection.

Where this is not the case, please see the listing for further details. Due to the fact that Chirashi are generally preserved in excellent condition, the grading scale is more strict than that usually employed for larger posters. Note: If you are buying chirashi for framing then you need not worry too much about our grading, as all of our posters have no significant defects that would be noticeable when framed. Our grading is chiefly for collectors who are fanatical about condition. Grade Description Mint Brand new, unused, flawless. *We don't grade any of our chirashi as Mint, as we only sell original and authentic theatre-used chirashi. By this very definition, they are 'used' and therefore cannot be Mint. Near Mint Our top grade. No visible flaws, but may show very minor signs of age, such as soft corners. Excellent/Near Mint Not quite "Near Mint", but close to it. Excellent No major flaws that detract from the poster, but may have some of the following: tiny or light corner crease, compression indentations from storage, possible minor tear boarder only, age discoloration. Most collectors would be happy with this grade. Very Good/Excellent No major flaws but has a number of minor imperfections. Very Good Has a visible defect such as a crease, or an accumulation of minor defects. Details of imperfections will be listed. This grade is still more than suitable for framing - but collectors that are fanatical about condition should wait for a better copy to come available. (Bear in mind that we reluctantly stock posters in this grade, and only when it is the best available.) Unacceptable Chirashi that show one or more readily visible flaws such as large creases, rips, tape marks, or hole punches. We do not sell chirashi in this grade.
