仁丹の標識の復活The number of Jintan signs in Kyoto is set to go up.
Jintan, a pharmaceutical company still based in Osaka, in the past posted these ads cum street address signs on houses in the early part of the 20th century.
Perhaps the greatest concentration of the signs can be found in the city's "Gothic Quarter," west of Horikawa Dori.
However, the number of signs has declined as old houses are torn down.
To combat that, if only a bit, 18 brand new signs were sent from Osaka to Kyoto on February 10th.
The signs will be posted in 12 neighborhoods.
