New Members beraly30 Posted October 29, 2013 at 01:25 PM New Members Report Posted October 29, 2013 at 01:25 PM Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me translate this text. I have been trying unsuccessfully for months! It would be much appreciated. Thank you! Quote
skylee Posted October 29, 2013 at 02:28 PM Report Posted October 29, 2013 at 02:28 PM I guess this is Japanese. You should consult someone who is familiar with Japanese. Nevertheless - The one on the left says "縱一尺五寸五分橫二尺二寸八分 左州相川石亝藏弆" (1 feet 5.5 inches high and 2 feet and 2.8 inches wide. Collection of 左州相川石亝). The middle one seems to be 新屋. And the one on the right says "縱二尺八寸橫八寸 東軒藏弆" (2 feet 8 inches high and eight inches wide. Collection of 東軒). Feet and inches here are probably not the same as the imperial units. Quote
