Default Uhh... That is not Japanese Rip...

I think that is Chinese. Grass Script (Cursive) to be more exact. The lower right one says love but I can not figure out all of the others. If you can post a clearer pic I may be able to tell you more.

Hope this helps.

James

Default Print

My wife said for you not to sell it for less than four. Dunno why but she has an eye for these kinda things. I will see what I can get out of the other words.

Default I haven't fogot about you

I am stil researching this. There are over 2000 different forms of Grass Script so I contacted a gentleman in Taiwan to help translate it. He has not responded as of yet. If he cannot translate it, I know another guy in Vietnam that may be able to. He was a Chinese Grass Script teacher for a while. He used to buy composite and hydraulic hoses and fittings from me while I worked at 4-Star Hose over in Dallas and Ft. Worth. He stays in contact and is a really nice man.

the red stamp is registered, they use them in japan instead of signatures you would have to contact the government in the country of origin with the pic of the red stamp and they would trace it for you. for $$$
