abcdefg Posted November 18, 2019 at 12:44 PM Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 at 12:44 PM I'm not very good at this, but I think the green characters in the picture on the left are 春曦 and mean something along the lines of "early morning spring sunlight." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted November 18, 2019 at 12:45 PM Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 at 12:45 PM Front large two are 春曦 chūn xī , meaning "spring morning sun", appears in some place names so might be from that, also a couple of schools which seems quite likely and it's obviously an idea connected to youth. The label with the Olympic rings reads 五洲体育用品有限公司，name of a sporting goods company, several different ones of that name show up on a search, adding the phone number didn't narrow it down but then I'm stuck with Bing. 五洲 was the old notion that there were five continents but now is usually a metaphor meaning worldwide etc.The brand label with the cat reads 奇猫牌 which might even be riffing on a curious cat, but not much joy with the search there either. ETA See @abcdefg has just replied with the correct main characters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
