{"product_id":"nobori-flag","title":"Nobori Flag","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMini Nobori Flag: the Japanese Restaurant Banner, Desk Size\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWalk down any shopping street in Japan and the first thing that announces a restaurant is not its sign but its \u003cem\u003enobori\u003c\/em\u003e: a tall, narrow banner fixed along one side to a pole, moving in the wind with the name of the house specialty. The format goes back to the battlefields of the Sengoku period, where the same vertical banners identified each clan, before merchants took it over to advertise what they sold. Today a row of nobori means one thing: the shop is open and the food is ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mini nobori flag shrinks that street banner to the size of a desk ornament. Each one stands 28 cm tall, about 11 in, on its own round wooden base. The printed fabric banner measures 10 x 24 cm and hangs from a wooden pole and crossbar by small loops, exactly as on the full-size version. It is a miniature, not a banner for a storefront.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are 26 designs, each lettered in the bold brush calligraphy of real shopfronts. The range covers sushi and sashimi, ramen, tempura, yakitori, yakiniku, grilled eel, salmon roe, draft beer and shaved ice, along with the red and black \u003cem\u003eizakaya\u003c\/em\u003e banner and the 営業中 sign that simply means open for business. Each number in the selector shows its own design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne mini nobori marks a dish on a buffet or a station at a Japanese dinner party. Several in a row give a sushi counter, a ramen bar or a food stall the look of a Tokyo side street. At home it sits on a kitchen shelf, a desk or beside a sake set, and food photographers use it as a prop that places a plate in Japan at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMini size: 28 cm tall x 12 cm wide (11 x 4.7 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBanner: 10 x 24 cm (3.9 x 9.4 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted fabric banner, wooden pole and base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e26 designs to choose from\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually: 1 flag with stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"JAPAN CLOTHING","offers":[{"title":"2","offer_id":54641972904283,"sku":"14:200006151#2","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1","offer_id":54641972937051,"sku":"14:1254#1","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4","offer_id":54641972969819,"sku":"14:200006153#4","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3","offer_id":54641973002587,"sku":"14:200006152#3","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18","offer_id":54641973035355,"sku":"14:10#18","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"17","offer_id":54641973068123,"sku":"14:350850#17","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20","offer_id":54641973100891,"sku":"14:173#20","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"19","offer_id":54641973133659,"sku":"14:29#19","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14","offer_id":54641973166427,"sku":"14:100018786#14","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13","offer_id":54641973199195,"sku":"14:618#13","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16","offer_id":54641973231963,"sku":"14:365458#16","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15","offer_id":54641973264731,"sku":"14:365016#15","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":54641973297499,"sku":"14:200003699#10","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9","offer_id":54641973330267,"sku":"14:1063#9","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12","offer_id":54641973363035,"sku":"14:200000195#12","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11","offer_id":54641973395803,"sku":"14:200002984#11","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6","offer_id":54641973428571,"sku":"14:200004890#6","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5","offer_id":54641973461339,"sku":"14:200006154#5","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8","offer_id":54641973494107,"sku":"14:200004889#8","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7","offer_id":54641973526875,"sku":"14:200006156#7","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"26","offer_id":54641973559643,"sku":"14:1052#26","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25","offer_id":54641973592411,"sku":"14:691#25","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"22","offer_id":54641973625179,"sku":"14:193#22","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"21","offer_id":54641973657947,"sku":"14:175#21","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24","offer_id":54641973690715,"sku":"14:496#24","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"23","offer_id":54641973723483,"sku":"14:366#23","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/9300\/2473\/files\/mini-nobori-flag-01-fresh-seafood-studio.jpg?v=1793876716","url":"https:\/\/japan-clothing.com\/products\/nobori-flag","provider":"JAPAN CLOTHING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
