Do you think the appreciation of, and fascination with, ghost signs is a form of 'nagori' as explained here?
Reminds me of the artist, whose name I can't remember, who installed a frame filled with freshly cut roses — the beauty was to be found in the decay/transition, much like the turning of the leaves in autumn.

Nice fading fascia for M.Y. Oswald revealed in Edinburgh.

NB. The article suggests there are multiple layers, but the words that they describe as being in palimpsest are all part of Oswald signs: confectioner, tobacconist, & newsagent.
