‘Chirashi’ is the Japanese word for a flyer or handbill, found in japanese cinemas to promote movies.

The name is derived from the verb ‘chirasu’ – to scatter, distribute, disperse.
In most cases, chirashi represents creative re-invention of original poster design.
They are printed in a very limited number, so some of them are very hard to find, especially the ones for Czech movies.
