Dear All.

I have recently bought a picture of a soldier and would really appreciate your help locating the place.


キャンテ.jpg


Thank you all!!
 
Is there any info on the reverse side of the photo or any other details that came with it?

I am not sure what キャンテ (the word under that peculiar logo) is supposed to mean: キャンテ for "cantilever", or is it キャンティ for "chianti"? It is most likely a company name.

Anyhow, it seems to be a farewell ceremony for departing troops.
 
Hello Thomas.

Unfortunately there is not any info or date on the reverse. I´m afraid that the logo and the name is the only information.

Thanks for your help!!
 
I consulted my wife, but she couldn't discern the characters on the paper lanterns either. I'm curious about that strange figure on top: it looks like a monkey or a daruma. Perhaps @Toritoribe san has more ideas. :)
 
The name of the soldier written on the lanterns would be 内田一男 Uchida Kazuo. This is a very common name, so it's nearly impossible to identify him just by the name, unfortunately.

I think the character is daruma.

Isn't it possible to show us a higher resolution picture? There are kanji in the circles on the signboard. (The fourth on might be 壹(= 壱/一) or 臺(= 台).
 
Hello.

Thanks for your help.

Attached you may find some closer pictures, hope they help to get some information. I put also a complete picture in case there could be more information in the banners and the picture of a close picture of one sing that was in a house.

Thanks again!!!

I, too, think it's キャンデー. The first four kanji in the circles on the signboard are 製造販賣 manufacturing and selling, so it might be a store that makes and sells candy.
