Description from the seller
This Japanese advertising sign is made of enamel and is double-sided. It has a distinctive shape, with a curved top edge and flared, wavy corners. The sign has a white background with a red decorative border and a pink sprayed border along the inside. Within it, a yellow glow sits behind large, dynamic brush characters in dark blue, with splashing, flaring strokes. In the lower-right corner, the characters 酒 (sake) and 王 (king) appear in red, indicating that it advertises sake. Each corner has a hole with a metal eyelet for hanging.
The sign is in used condition. There are small chips with rust along the edges, especially along the top edge. There are fine signs of wear on the enamel edge and in the sprayed border. The colors and image have been well preserved. All details can be seen in the photos.
A striking, colorful sign with a bold calligraphic design, ideal for lovers of Japanese enamel signs, a bar, an izakaya, or a collection.
