Thread: Japanese Straights

Does anyone here read Japanese? I'm curious to know what the tang reads (other than, perhaps, EXTRA VERY HARD).

(In the case that it might read TWO GOLDEN MEN / PAKISTAN, please feel free to remain silent.)

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Chris

You're welcome!

By the way 梅 ("ume") in the circle means "plum", Sometimes the circle itself means "Maru",
so, I'm not sure, but it also can mean "Maru-ume" or "Maruma" (a brand?)
