Description from the seller

Product Description
Bring a piece of authentic Japanese history into your home.
As seen in the image, this is a stunning enamel advertising sign (Horo Kanban) from the Showa era.
Featuring vibrant red, white, and blue colors, it showcases the classic "Special Seed" (良いたね) catchphrase in a beautiful design.
This item is a genuine deadstock piece that has never been used, allowing it to retain an impressive and beautiful gloss.
Minor vintage wear and rust from long-term storage add to its unique character, making it an exceptional addition for collectors of Japanese retro advertising.

Background and Manufacturer
Produced by Atariya Noen (アタリヤ農園), a famous and historic agricultural seed company originally established in Omigawa Town, Chiba Prefecture (千葉県小見川町).
During the mid-20th century in Japan, these highly durable iron enamel signs were placed outside local shops and farms to promote high-quality vegetable seeds.
These signs have become highly sought-after cultural icons today, symbolizing the nostalgic and rapidly growing Showa retro aesthetic that collectors worldwide cherish.
