A Toshiba electric appliances store in Tokyo, Japan.

The Toshiba logo was used from 1950 to 1969 (according to Wikipedia Japanese edtion), so the store front is at least 40 years old, so is the boy.

See also drichi2006's HITACHI store photo. The store front is from the same era.

An old sign - probably from the 1960s. All colours except yellow have gone. The message is "Protect children from road accidents". Hand-written lettering, I believe.

If you are writing an essay or a thesis on Japanese "manga" culture, this could be a good example.
