This is an example of a late 19th century export kimono made for European markets. It has the general shape of a kimono, but it's the size of a haori. It also has the famous Tokugawa three hollyhock kamon, which cemented it as an export kimono. The silk and embroidery are lovely though!
Driving through Aberdeen Harbour I passed the old Neptune bar that has been closed for many years , I noticed the advertising sign still on display for one of my favourite beers from my youth. Parked the car and took a snap to archive & share on Flickr.
McEwan’s Export
Well-travelled and wise.
McEwan’s Export is perhaps the world’s best-travelled beer. First brewed to quench the thirst of those toiling under the hot Indian sun, it was labelled Export and the name stuck. The sun might not belt down quite the same in Scotland, but we know a refreshing beer when we taste one – Export is today the no.1 supermarket selling ale in in its homeland.
This beer began its life in the 1860s, when its casks would be loaded onto sailing ships for a 5,000-mile journey to India. There it was unloaded on a sun-drenched wharf and sent inland to reward the thirsty workers.
McEwan’s Export does the same noble job today, and is still known worldwide for its hearty character.

I've not been able to learn anything about the building where this relief sculpture and its companion piece are located. I did find a photo of this panel on the Web, but it was at a stock-photo site that was, as usual, information free.
The panel depicts workers engaged in various types of manual labor. Hence, I think it dates to the interwar period when there was strong sympathy for the labor movement.
I'm fond of the second figure from the right. He is paying tribute to the history of glass in what was then Czechoslovakia.

An interesting little snippet here from Datsun Dealer magazine, July 1978. I wonder what the other makes and models were that they also wanted to export? Slightly ironic that the Datsuns these Minis were part-exchanged against would themselves become very desirable for export a couple of decades later.
