AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This lot consists of approximately 30 vintage souvenir keychains from Japan, mainly representing famous tourist destinations across the country. These keychains were produced primarily during the Showa period (昭和時代, 1926–1989) and reflect the nostalgic charm of mid-20th-century Japanese travel culture.

The collection includes metal medallion-style keychains featuring landmarks such as temples, castles, bridges, scenic coastlines, and regional maps, as well as playful designs like dolphins, bells, Coca-Cola bottles, and folk motifs. Materials vary and include metal alloys, enamel, resin, plastic, and mixed materials, which together create a visually rich and diverse assortment.

Each piece shows natural signs of age such as surface wear, patina, scratches, or minor discoloration, consistent with authentic vintage souvenirs. Rather than flaws, these details enhance the “Showa retro” aesthetic, making this set especially appealing to collectors of Japanese memorabilia, vintage keychains, or nostalgic travel souvenirs.

This is an ideal bulk lot for collectors, resellers, or for display purposes, offering a snapshot of Japanese domestic tourism history in one comprehensive set.
