Description
Japanese Antique Wooden Pharmacy Signboard Handwritten Kanban Taisho–Early Showa WO450
Description:
This is an authentic Japanese antique wooden pharmacy signboard (Kanban) from the Taisho to early Showa period (circa 1910s–1930s).
The sign features beautiful hand-painted calligraphy on aged wood, reading “Chiniku Toze Binīseru”, which advertised a nutritional or tonic medicine of the era.
The phrase “Chiniku Toze” can be interpreted as “a dose to build blood and flesh,” suggesting it was marketed as a strengthening or nourishing supplement.
Such antique pharmacy signs reflect the fusion of traditional Japanese aesthetics with early 20th-century pharmaceutical advertising.
