ORIGINAL ISSUE RELEASE 1980 (Dated 1982 on the chirashi)STAR WARS: EPISODE V- THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK STYLE “A” ARTWORK CHIRASHI/HANDBILL POSTER ©1980 20th Century-FoxChirashiChirashi are mini-posters, sometimes referred to as flyers or handbills, used to advertise movies in Japan. Due to the fact they are only available from theaters while the movie is showing, they are collectible movie memorabilia and rise in value based on age and scarcity. Chirashi are, in general, high quality poster prints printed on high quality paper. CHIRASHI ARE USUALLY A B5 SIZE OR ABOUT 18CM X 26CM, PLUS OR MINUS. Sometimes, chirashi may be a different format, i.e., two or more sheets folded together joined by a spine. What’s unique about Japanese chirashi posters is that much of the artwork is custom created for the Japanese market, with a distinctive Japanese design. The Japanese chirashi poster will often look quite different to the artwork available in other countries… in many cases the design is superior. And, some innovative released chirashi includes a fold-out and specialty prints you won’t find anywhere else. Due to their handy size and low cost, they are, by far, the most popular size of posters among Japanese collectors as well as collectors of movie memorabilia worldwide. This is NOT a reprint or a reproduction; This is NOT an art print; This is NOT a video flyer; This is NOT one of those flyers that sellers copy over and over; This is not a wall print poster;[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ Shipped right here in the USA in a matter of just couple of days instead of possibly months from overseas sellers not to mention who knows what the package will look like when you get it. ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]This is a beautiful and rare Japanese chirashi handbill from the Star Wars Original Trilogy that was available to movie goers inside the theater during the venue when STAR WARS: EPISODE V – THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK ©1980 20th Century Fox was released and now difficult to obtain. This original issue handbill from Japan features the second installment of the Star Wars Original Trilogy, STAR WARS: EPISODE V – THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. The movie stars Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher, with James Earl Jones providing the iconic voice of Darth Vader. Directed by Irvin Kershner and produced by Lucasfilm, Ltd., the American space epic opera film was released by 20th Century-Fox in July 1980. Measuring at 25.5 cm x 18 cm, the artwork and poster design for this gorgeous Chirashi/handbill was by Noriyoshi Ohrai and features the Japanese premier date of July 28, 1980. It is a must-have for any Star Wars collector and is an original issue in NM-M condition. Flat rate shipping from the USA is available for $5.00. Please look closely at the photos as it shows the exact chirashi you are buying. It is not restored, it is not cropped, it is not a stock image – you are receiving the exact chirashi that was available in the Japanese theaters. THE ARTWORK ON THE CHIRASHI This chiashi’s illustrated artwork, by Noriyoshi Ohrai, is a favorite masterpiece amongst collectors. It was used in Japan, and subsequently, on many of the international THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK cinema promotion art pieces around the world. Several of the global film distributors thought its design was spectacular and so they used it for the promotion of the film, instead of using the USA or UK’s campaign drawings. At the top it says, “The second in the Star Wars series!” (Star Wars シリーズ第2弾!), and you can see Darth Vader’s helmet looming in the green atmospheric background amidst the yellow fireworks. Below Vader is the tibanna gas mining colony Cloud City, floating in the purplish clouds of the planet Bespin. The Millennium Falcon and several X-wings are thrusting towards the edge of the layout and the main artistic composition is being projected outwards to the viewer in many layers. Lando Calrissian is standing over Leia and Solo’s embrace, while Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2, and Luke Skywalker, in battle fatigues, are front and center. The rest of the Chirashi shows several illustrated characters and movie scenes, including the assault on Echo Base, AT-AT Walkers, the head of a tauntaun, an Imperial probe droid, Luke’s mossy unsubmerged X-wing on Dagobah, and the bounty hunters summoned to the Executor. Just below the art is the famous tagline, “The Star Wars Saga Continues” and a smaller English language title. At the bottom of the ticket in the middle is the red Japanese title logo スター・ウォーズ帝国の逆襲 with the cast and crew information on either side of it. The 20th Century Fox, Dolby System, and the Eirin (映倫 54183) emblems, along with the copyright (© 20th Century Fox) are printed towards the bottom of the handbill. The chirashi’s image bleeds to the edge of the printing and Noriyoshi Ohrai had signed the piece. His very small signature can be seen on the right-hand side by the Viper probe droid (Probot) on the snow. This chirashi is actually a micro-poster from the larger official Japanese movie poster from STAR WARS: EPISODE V – THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK.I would condition this chirashi as exceptional for a collection…it would be beautiful framed! Overall solid, complete and intact; Sharp corners and straight clean edges; No significant wrinkles or paper distortions; No creases, corner folds or pinholes; No tears, tape or missing pieces; No marks, stains or fading; Beautiful, bright, intense colors.A SUPER NICE PIECE!!!About as good as you will find!All of our Japanese Chirashi are printed in Japan and are original printings. We do not sell counterfeits or pirated goods. This is a chirashi from STAR WARS: EPISODE V – THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK that was released in 1980. ■ Subjective Appearance evaluation [NM-M]　* See below Following evaluation guide by POSTERS FROM JAPAN B5 CHIRASI Our B5 Chirashi posters are almost always in Excellent or Near Mint condition. 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, for the most part, 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.
