The image shows an enamel sign for “Inabata Dye (Funain Kattei-zome),” which retains a retro Showa-era atmosphere. In the upper center is the “Funain” logo—a design resembling a merchant ship inside a circle—flanked on either side by the text “The Best Katei-zome.” In the center, in large red letters, is “Inabata Dye,” and at the bottom is the inscription “Authorized Dealer.” Sign Overview Product/Brand Name: Inabata Dyes (Funain Katei-zome) Features: This is a storefront advertising sign used to promote household dyes (products for dyeing clothing and other items at home). Background: This sign is extremely popular among antique collectors as it tells the story of “Inabata Industries,” a major chemical trading company, as well as the history of household dyes that became widespread from the Taisho to the Showa periods. Signs of age, such as rust, scratches, and stains, are visible, but these elements lend the item the unique charm and character characteristic of vintage pieces.
