Frequently Asked Questions
What size are your posters?
We specialise in Japanese Chirashi posters, which are B5 size — approximately 7" × 10" (176 mm × 250 mm). If a poster differs in size, we’ll note it clearly in the product title & description.
Are your posters authentic or reprints?
Every poster we sell is an authentic Japanese cinema print, originally produced by the film industry in Japan for in-theatre promotion.
We do not sell reprints — all items are guaranteed original and were only available during the film’s theatrical release. Collectors can buy with full confidence.
How can I tell an original from a reprint?
Original Chirashi posters are printed to a high standard — rich colour, sharp detail, and clean typography. Reprints are often blurry or pixelated due to being scanned or photographed, then digitally printed.
Here’s how to spot the difference:
- Paper size: Originals are almost always in Japanese B-series sizes (like B5), not A4.
- Print clarity: Small text should be razor-sharp, not fuzzy.
- Back print: Many Chirashi are double-sided, often with a cinema stamp or show info on the reverse.
At Winnfield Co., we only sell authentic originals — guaranteed.
How do you grade poster condition?
Almost all of our posters are in Excellent or Near Mint condition unless noted otherwise. If a poster has any visible flaws, they’ll be clearly detailed in the product description.
Please note:
- Posters over 20 years old may show minor signs of age or handling, which is typical for vintage collectibles.
- Even pristine-looking posters are graded as Near Mint — not Mint — since they were used in theatres, not sold as new.
- We don’t sell anything graded lower than Very Good — everything we offer is suitable for display or serious collecting. Any major defects will be highlighted in the product description.
