This authentic, double-sided enamel advertising sign from Japan dates back to the 1950s and promotes the iconic product "Ajinomoto" (味の素) — a flavor enhancer based on umami that gained worldwide popularity. The striking red background with white and yellow typography is characteristic of Japanese advertising design from the early Shōwa period, blending playful calligraphy with bold, traditional characters.
Dimensions: height 30 cm, width 45 cm.
The sign is double-sided enamel on metal and shows clear signs of age: rust and patina contribute to its rough, weathered look.
This piece is highly decorative and perfect for lovers of vintage advertising, Japanese design, or industrial interiors. The beautiful typography, vibrant color palette, and worn charm make this sign a unique and expressive collectible that adds authenticity and character to any space.
