Japanese Wooden Shop Signboard Kanban Asakusa Oiri WO487
This is a traditional Japanese wooden shop signboard once used in the Asakusa area, featuring bold carved calligraphy and a vibrant red central panel. Such “Oiri” signboards were displayed by shops to celebrate good business and invite prosperity.
The signboard is crafted from wood with deeply carved characters and a raised red decorative centerpiece. Shop sign culture has been an essential part of Japanese merchant life since the Edo period, symbolizing identity, craftsmanship, and hospitality. Its bold colors and expressive lettering make it an impressive décor piece capturing the spirit of old Japanese shopping streets.
Perfect for home décor, interior display, restaurants, cafés, or as part of a collection of Japanese folk art.
