goodwin Valued Member Japan 71 Posts	Posted 01/22/2013 11:57 pm wish I could help you... it does look to be written in japanese, but I cannot recognize the character below - must be some old form (used before ww2) or something (japanese is not my native though, so...) the character above means "gold" or "money", and reads as "kane" or "kin", however, it may also mean korean surname "Kim" Edited by goodwin 01/23/2013 06:02 am Report this Post to the Staff
