Description
This is a vintage Japanese kanban (signboard) for a medical office, featuring the characters "医家配方调剂所" (Medical Prescription Compounding) and "药局" (Pharmacy). Kanban were traditionally used in Japan to advertise businesses, providing clear, bold signage to attract customers and indicate the type of services offered.

This particular kanban was likely displayed outside a pharmacy or medical office, specializing in the preparation and dispensing of prescriptions. The sign serves as a historical artifact from a time when hand-painted signage was a common method of communication in commercial areas. It embodies the intersection of traditional medicine and Japanese craftsmanship.
