"New" in box vintage item. This is a set of two "tosa" wooden toy percussion clacker souvenirs, made in Kochi city for the Yasakoi Matsuri Festival. These are from from Japan's Showa-era.
The box has a beautiful retro design of red, black, and white, with a reasonable amount of fading or marks, which can be seen in the photos. Inside the box is a slip of paper with information about the toy and festival; note that the phone numbers on the paper are only six digits long, so that helps narrow down the timeframe.
I don't know for sure which decade the set is from, but based on the colors and style, my guess is the 1960s or 1970s, but possibly as early as 1940s. The set is in really nice shape, considering the age.
Box length ≈20cm.
« Condition »
We sell vintage items. Many are "new" in box, but they are not in perfect condition due to time. Please read the listing and inspect all of the photos carefully to see the exact condition of the item.
« Item Source »
All items in this shop come directly from our two abandoned houses in Japan. These items were packed in boxes, and stored for a minimum of 40 years (the amount of time the house was abandoned), but many items were stored in the house for additional decades prior to being abandoned.
« Note about shipping »
Items will be shipped via Japan Post. I do my best to charge the accurate Japan Post rate, based on the item weight and the buyer's country.
« For buyers outside of Japan »
Packages might take 1-3 weeks to arrive, as the items have to go through your country's customs. Import duties, taxes, or other charges, are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what (if any) these additional costs might be prior to purchasing.

Payment only available through this Shopify shopping cart.
