Original vintage Japanese enamel advertising sign for tobacco sales. These signs were supplied to small shops throughout Japan authorised to sell cigarettes. The simple, bold red and white design with large hiragana lettering is a classic example of mid-20th-century Japanese street signage. This is an authentic period piece showing age-related wear from outdoor use, including enamel chips, edge rust, and original hanging holes. Highly decorative and sought after by collectors of enamel signs and Japanese advertising. ?? (Tabako) – Tobacco / Cigarettes. 45 × 30 cm.
