Original lot of vintage Kyoto, Japan tourist and shop advertising ephemera, dating to the pre-WWII period (circa 1920s–1930s). Includes multiple business cards and promotional pieces from Kyoto shops specializing in textiles, kimono goods, brocades, and decorative arts.

Notable pieces include Y. Murai Gift Shop (Shinmonzen St., Kyoto) with illustrated location map, along with additional Kyoto-area shop cards in a similar format. These items were produced for foreign visitors and reflect the export/tourist trade in traditional Japanese crafts during the interwar period.

A cohesive grouping tied to Kyoto’s historic artisan and retail districts, appealing to collectors of Japanese ephemera, textile history, and early tourism material.
