Showa Limit 3.9m Japanese Road Sign T-Shirt, Retro Japan Street Sign Tee, Garment Dyed Comfort Colors, Vintage Showa Aesthetic Shirt
Showa Limit — 3.9m
A parody of the Japanese road sign you see hanging over
underpasses all across Tokyo. The real ones warn you about
clearance height. This one warns you that the Showa era only
goes up to 3.9 meters.
I live in Tokyo and photograph the parts of it that tourists
walk past — faded enamel signage, rusted steel posts, the
texture of paint after forty years of rain. This design began
as my own photograph of a height limit sign in Katsushika,
east Tokyo, and was rebuilt as vector artwork.
The Showa era ended in 1989. These signs are still standing.
