Thread: [KANJI HELP] Post here your requests

Hi Arsenico
I have a hone I bought quite some time ago & I got it cheap. I got it out not long ago & was looking at it. While I was looking at it, I flipped it over 7 found some writing on the bottom of the base I did not see before. I want to know if you can translate it.



Also here is a Kamisori I got some time back & I would like to know what it says on it.


Thank you very much.~Steve

Hi Steve...
都窪郡妹尾町箕島　On your stone there is an address. Tsukubo Senoo...should be in Okayama Prefecture, South of Japan.
箕島 these 2 last kanji means Mishima or Minoshima...a name or a place... But I haven't found any place called Mishima in Okayama prefecture, but i might be wrong.
Last letters are Katakana ハマダ Hamada and サー that means "sir", so COULD be sir Hamada, but the order is different...
Numbers on top should be the date...Showa 43 (1968), April 26th..

I need some more time for the kamisori...gonna show the picture to some of my friends

Hi Stefan, this is a Sasuga razor. サスガ in the triangles. Other kanji are the ususal "trade Mark" and "Special Made" stuff.
Hope this helps.

Thanks to Fakira's Kanji page, I think I found my kamisori. The seller had said it was a Fuji & that it was high grade. I was wanting to verify that & please tell me if I'm right. Look on the Kanji page here:

I scrolled down to the "f"'s for Fuji & that is what it shows, an almost identical pic of my kamisori.



Thank you so much for all the help you have given everyone here.

Yep, that is a Fuji Tamahagane
"純玉鋼別打" "実?" = "Jun Tamahagane betsu uchi" "mi?"
= specially made/forged genuine Tamahagane
特級 = Tokkyū, high grade
登録商標 = tōroku shōhyō
冨二 = Fuji

Could I use the picture for the page please? Especially for the last kanji

Thanks! (It's Fikira by the way )

You bet. I'll look & see if I have the other pics for it.

Thanks! Great! I appreciate it very much!
I'm really not sure, but maybe it is:
保險附 = ho 險 Fu (?) = supplementary insurance (?)

Hi, it is the same as 保険付　hoken tsuki (with insurance)
險=険　保険 ‎(shinjitai kanji, kyūjitai kanji 保險, hiragana ほけん, romaji hoken)
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%BF%9D%E9%99%BA

附=付　附 · Tangorin Japanese Dictionary
In this case they have a slight difference, but often are used with the same meaning
