This series contains pre-war fliers, pamphlets, programs, and weekly listings of film showings at movie theaters primarily during the pre-war period. Also included with many of the programs are newspaper clippings. The first file contains early Meiji handbills with some from the Taishō period (1920s) as organized by Makino. Files are then organized alphabetically by city, theater name, title (when known), and then number and date (This retains Makino's organization by location and theater name). The majority of fliers are from theaters in Tokyo (see Subseries XII.10: Movie Theater Handbills/ Chirashi: Tokyo). For these theaters, they are further organized alphabetically by location within the city of Tokyo: area of Tokyo, theater name, title, and then number and date. Some programs in this subseries are numbered and dated, while others are not numbered nor dated. The descriptions column includes the name of the film production company that managed the theater where known.

This series consists of post-war ephemera related to film and culture. The majority of the materials are contemporary film fliers and programs for original releases, special events, revivals and retrospectives in Japan, for both Japanese films (hōga/ 邦画) and foreign films (yōga/ 洋画). Makino grouped the materials by the country where the film was produced. During processing, this original grouping was maintained. Materials were obtained, donated, or otherwise purchased from secondhand and antiquarian book stores by Makino. The majority of materials, including foreign films, are of Japanese release. However, some materials were also obtained from each country where the films were shown. These objects are fliers, programs, ticket stubs, press kits, stills, serials that were issued by mini theaters/ mini shiatā/ ミニシアター, press sheets, leaflets, and lobby cards. There are also scrapbooks of newspaper clippings from the 1960s mainly film advertisements, in addition to several film review articles. The ephemera in this series are mainly film-related, but there are some non-film/Japanese theater-related materials as well.
