AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original Japanese enameled sign with black kanji characters and a striking red arrow pointing upward. The text reads “注意” (Chūi), which means “Pay attention” or “Warning.” This type of sign was used as an indication or warning in public spaces, at buildings, or on industrial sites.
The minimalist design, with strong black-and-white contrasts and a bold red arrow, gives the sign a sleek and timeless character. Due to its simplicity, it is both decorative and functional and is very suitable for fans of industrial objects, Japanese signage, or graphic design.
The sign is made of enameled metal, with mounting holes on the top and bottom. The enamel has a beautiful shine and provides a durable finish.
Condition
In good vintage condition with light signs of use and small specks in the enamel, appropriate for age and use. No major damage. See photos for an accurate impression of the state.
Shipping from the Netherlands. Within the EU there are no additional customs clearances or costs, quick to your door.
