This is a genuine license plate, from Fukuoka, officially removed from the vehicle registration by the Land Transport Bureau. It's the real deal, not something you'd find in a general store. It was actually attached to a car. It could be even cleaner with some polishing compound. Perfect for Fukuoka enthusiasts or as a unique piece of decor. Since it has been officially removed, there are no issues. The hole in the upper left corner is proof of this. It cannot be reattached to a vehicle. Please understand that the item is sold as-is upon arrival. I will answer any questions to the best of my ability.
