rachb1014 Posted September 10, 2009 at 03:31 PM Report Posted September 10, 2009 at 03:31 PM Hello, can anyone help me with what this means? It's signed on the bottom of chess pieces that I inherited. It's too small to take a picture of so I drew it out. Thanks in advance. Quote
rachb1014 Posted September 10, 2009 at 06:13 PM Author Report Posted September 10, 2009 at 06:13 PM I thought my grandma said she got the chess set from China but the more I look it the charters and compare on the web the more it looks like a form of Katakana which would mean it is Japanese. What do you guys think? Quote
Jim Posted September 10, 2009 at 06:22 PM Report Posted September 10, 2009 at 06:22 PM Looks like it's 信之 and I suspect it's a Japanese personal name - e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanada_Nobuyuki Could well be wrong on both scores there, though. Quote
jetter Posted September 11, 2009 at 06:54 PM Report Posted September 11, 2009 at 06:54 PM may be it just means TO BELIVE “之" stand for many things such as people, you,it and so on Quote
