This is an enameled billboard for "Sumitomo Granular Urea" that was used during the Showa era. The vibrant yellow-based color combination and red Sumitomo logo make this a must-have for retro fans.
"Granular urea" is a type of fertilizer used in agriculture. It contains a lot of nitrogen, which promotes crop growth. "Granular" refers to its shape, which makes it easy to handle and has excellent properties for storage and spreading.
Sumitomo Chemical is a major Japanese chemical manufacturer that has provided high-quality products in the fertilizer field. This sign is believed to have been installed on the walls of agricultural cooperatives, sales offices and fertilizer stores at that time.
