Subject:Help reading Japanese inscription on transport boxes and noh mask
Posted By: Phil Tue, Jun 25, 2019 IP: 2a01:cb05:8362:5000:
Hi everyone,

I have some boxes which go with some of my collection of Japanese lacquer items. Naturally, I'm rather curious to know just what they mean in regards to the items.

The other inscription is on the inside of an old Noh mask depicting one of the Nio Guardians.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Regards,
