Japanese B2 (20.25" x 28.75")
Mint Rolled
Toho, 2001

Destined to be an enduring classic, paper from this film is always in high demand, especially country-of-origin paper like the stunning rare advance rolled Japanese B2 offered here, known as the "back seat style," which pictures Chihiro from the very beginning of the film, before her adventures in the world of the kami.

This poster is in mint condition showing no signs of being used or displayed. It shows only the most minimal signs of handling.

One of the greatest films to emerge from the mind of creator Hayao Miyazaki, Spirited Away (2001) is a true masterwork. About a ten-year-old girl who enters the world of the kami (Japanese spirits from Shinto folklore) when her parents are transformed into pigs by the witch Yubaba, the story touches on themes of environmentalism (a significant theme in Miyazaki's work, the need to reconnect with traditional Japanese culture, and the perils of greed and Western consumerism. The movie made 1.6 billion yen in its first three days of release. It topped the Japanese box office for eleven weeks, eventually grossing over 32 billion yen, making it the highest-grossing film in Japanese history.

Estimate: $300 - 600
