Subject:Translation of Japanese Text on Item
Posted By: Susi Fri, Jul 27, 2012 IP: 71.232.249.8
Hello
Please, might you be able to translate the Japanese characters on the cover of the cast metal box which is shown in the photos below. It measures approx 3x4 and 2" tall, and it is wood lined. It has a dragon motif and its base has a repeating Buddha impression pattern. It is marked simply Made in Japan. Thank you very much for any assistance you might be able to offer.
With kind regards
Susi

very hard to see! but the one on the right looks like FUKU (best wishes/happiness)
Try posting bigger images and see if any real japanese speakers will fare better :)
