AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original Japanese enamel sign with black kanji characters and a prominent red arrow pointing upward. The text reads "注意" (Chūi), which means "Pay attention" or "Warning." This type of sign was used as an indicator or warning in public spaces, at buildings or on industrial locations.
The minimalist design, with strong black-and-white contrasts and a bold red arrow, gives the sign a sleek and timeless character. Because of its simplicity, it is both decorative and functional and very suitable for enthusiasts of industrial objects, Japanese signage, or graphic design.
The sign is made of enameled metal, with mounting holes at the top and bottom. The enamel has a nice gloss and provides a durable finish.
Condition
In good vintage condition with light signs of wear and small specks in the enamel, appropriate for its age and use. No major damage. See photos for an accurate impression of the condition.
Shipping from the Netherlands. Within the EU there are no extra customs duties or fees, and it arrives quickly.
