Showa-era Enamel Sign "Kosui Special Soy Sauce" This is a double-sided enamel sign for "Kosui Special Soy Sauce," produced during the Showa period. Made from a single sheet of iron, it is a practical advertising sign that was hung on the eaves of street-facing shops, liquor stores, and grocery stores. The bold inscription "Kosui Special Soy Sauce" stands out against a vibrant vermilion background. The two characters "Kosui" (lake) boldly written within a central circular design are the brand name, evoking the bounty of the lake. This is a typical and refined design used by local soy sauce manufacturers of the time to convey a sense of quality, nature, and trustworthiness. The distinctive glassy luster of enamel remains intact today. Although minor scratches and creases on the edges are visible over time, these are proof of authenticity and a charm that cannot be artificially reproduced. Its presence instantly brings a "Showa-era" feel to any space. [Size] Approximately 42.2x30cm [Condition] Good vintage condition. Although it shows signs of use, the letters and designs remain clearly visible. Please check the photos. Any taxes related to international shipping must be borne by the purchaser.
