STAR WARS The Clone Wars Japan flyer 2 anime Mace Windu

In Japan, these flyers are known as chirashi, and they are distributed by Japanese film companies, usually in cinemas but also in other locations sometimes, to promote forthcoming films. Often, especially for a film that is expected to be popular, there are two different chirashi created for each film. The earlier version, sometimes released literally months in advance of the opening of the film, is designed to raise awareness. This is often followed by a second version, distributed closer to the film's actual Japanese release date. In rare cases there are more than two types, but it is quite unusual.
Some of these flyers are VERY limited, others readily available in many locations, but all are the same - when it comes to the release date of the film, all chirashi are returned to the film companies, or destroyed.
All chirashi measure approximately 19cm x 26cm, and often feature unique graphics and, almost ALWAYS, great Japanese text unseen by American audiences. Great for framing, they can make inexpensive little masterpieces on your walls, or an economical and interesting collection, that is easy to store! Mail samurai@gol.com for more details!
