Unique Advertisement of Ginza Sony Building (Art Wall)

[Mr.Chuo-ku] July 23, 2014 09:00

I think many people have seen unique advertisements appearing on the wall of Sony Building (Sony Building) at the corner of Ginza Sukiyabashi intersection in Chuo-ku.

 

An example of an advertisement (click on an image to enlarge)↓

This advertisement has a history, and in December 1957, a neon advertising tower was installed at its current location. In 1957, two years after the launch of the transistor radio, the first neon advertising sign using a bean ball at that time became a hot topic.

 

History of Sony Building:
December 1957 Sony appeared in Sukiyabashi, Ginza.
June 1959 Showroom Opened
Construction of Sony Building started in June 1964
April 1966 Sony Building Opened

 
I think it would be nice to see this advertisement when you go to Ginza for sightseeing etc.
