In Japan, enamel advertising signs appeared at the beginning of the 20th century, blending art, commerce, and tradition. Tea plantations, such as Takadaen, used these signs to appeal to urban customers, combining bright colors, careful calligraphy, and traditional symbols like the central vase, reminiscent of the tea ceremony and Japanese refinement. Each sign was designed to last, reflecting both the quality of the product and the country’s aesthetic standards.

Double-sided, this Takadaen sign is a rare example of Japanese advertising preserved in its original condition. It offers a glimpse into the history of Japanese commercial exchanges and shows how tea, far more than a beverage, was a way of life. Collectors and enthusiasts of ancient Asia will appreciate the charm of the intricate details and the visual poetry that characterize this period of industrial and cultural growth.
