Citaya Collectables Chirashi, Cinema Programs & Film Magazines Sale...

Now, for those that want a little clarification, Chirashi are leaflets (or flyers) that can be found strewn inside magazines and at Cinemas. Given the nature of how films come and go very rapidly, they've also found their own niche of collectors, and they often become harder to find and more expensive to buy as time goes by - it's great that they often directly represent the poster artwork for a film, though they're more affordable initially, and, particularly important for collecting, they're much more storable because of their size. Typically, a chirashi would be classed as JB5 - that's 182 x 257 mm - but there's always variation to be found, with many films often having different designs and sizes issued long in advance of the Cinema release, and there's often some very nice use of paper, with montages of pictures accompanied by various information on the reverse sides too.

The difference with a service that sells Chirashi on is that they're sourced and handled in such a ways as to maintain their condition, there's always an ability to find the very rare and very latest side-by-side, and they're sent through the post in solid sleeves, handled with gloved fingers too... I personally have a large(ish) collection of Chirashi for Takashi Miike films, but I've also picked up many posters, and they're fantastic to frame for display - it's not cheap to frame the posters, and the sleeves to store those cost me a fortune. You might also want to take advantage of the 25% Citaya are offering off Cinema Programs (yes, I have many of these too) which are often very beautifully produced presentations with masses of pictures inside, and the 25% off Film Magazines too. Hurry though, because remember, this runs only between June 25th and the July 2nd 2007.
