This English-language sign is for a lacquer workshop probably operated by the antique dealer Hayashi Shinsuke, which had its main shop on Furumonzen Street in Kyoto’s Gion district. Made of wood coated with black lacquer and inlaid with brass letters, it suggests the prominence of Kyoto arts and crafts in the 19th century export market.
