Black-and-White Photo, 'Japanese Street Vendor', Wall Decoration, 1980s.
This unique wall decoration features a large black-and-white print on photographic paper, carefully mounted on a wooden frame.
Dimensions: height 53 cm, width 42 cm, depth 2 cm.
The photo captures a Japanese street vendor smiling at the photographer, seemingly about to stick out his tongue. His stall is filled with various trinkets, including E.T. dolls, "I love NY" lighters, and other small souvenirs. This image perfectly reflects the late Shōwa era, with its unique mix of cultural icons and vibrant market life.
This one-of-a-kind piece comes from a series of photos that were part of the final project of a Japanese university student in the 1980s.
A lively and artistic piece that adds a subtle Japanese accent to any interior, capturing the spirit of the 1980s market culture.
