S6 Pre-War enamel sign, Fujisawa Camphor Enamel Sign, Shoki-sama,
A striking piece of Japanese advertising history, this vintage Fujisawa Camphor enamel sign showcases Zhong Kui—the legendary Chinese ghost catcher—rendered in vibrant enamel work. Produced by Fujisawa Tomokichi Shoten (now Fujisawa Pharmaceutical) during Japan's Taisho period, the sign promoted camphor as a versatile insecticide, antiseptic, and medicinal compound. Distributed across Japan and Taiwan during the colonial era, such signs represent rare industrial ephemera that bridge folklore symbolism with early 20th-century commerce. A museum-quality artifact for collectors of vintage advertising, Japanese design, and East Asian cultural history. Size around 45.5 cm
