Subject:help me to understand what the writing says
Posted By: Dennis Tue, Aug 14, 2018 IP: 2600:8800:4400:7db0:
I found these 'writings' in a box of mementos collected by a relative of mine who had traveled to Japan and China. She is deceased, so I can't ask her, but can someone explain to me the writing and what it means. I want to have these framed and hang them as a grouping on the wall. I'd like to have an answer for any guests that may inquire about them. Also, I intended for the blue paper with the number on it to at the top of each writing...but I don't know which end is supposed to be up...any help is appreciated.
