An authentic vintage Japanese double-sided enamel advertising sign featuring the large Kanji “塩” (Salt) in bold white against a deep cobalt blue background. Its striking minimalist design, oversized typography, and vivid color contrast make it an eye-catching example of mid-century Japanese commercial signage. Originally intended for grocery stores or food retailers, this sign represents the clean and functional aesthetic of Japan’s Showa-era advertising. Both sides feature the same design, making it an ideal display piece whether mounted on a wall or suspended. The enamel surface retains an attractive gloss with age-related wear, including scratches, small chips, edge wear, light oxidation, and minor rust around the mounting holes, all consistent with decades of use. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
