A thirty-year-old sign of "no nukes declaration." large letters were possibly hand-written, in a very beautiful authentic style.
"No Nukes Declaration" can be seen in a lot of cities around Japan, because Japan is the first country that was nuke-bombed (in 1945).
peace. :-)
PS:
Feel free to use this pic on your blog if you like.
The sign reads "Authorised personnel only" and "Keep off."

A plastic sign board after decades of sun and rain.
Next to this wall, there is a "No Graffiti" poster. They say they are watching, though I didn't find a CCTV above the poster. Well, there must be a camera or two nearby.

This is next to the previous pic in my photostream.
Not tinted. It was a cloudy evening but the sticker is the same the one below (in March 2006).
