Subject:Japanese Calligraphy Translation
Posted By: Guy Thu, Mar 22, 2018 IP: 2601:640:9:2ab8:5dee
Tried to translate myself, but failed. I know it says samurai on the 3rd character. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

the top photo seems to be

龍(竜)和

second photo: would seem strange to combine hiragana with katakana as in いニ侍賞, but I can't think of anything else besides katakana リニ (with the extender on the end of both). I.Nagy may have more Japan context to offer though

Nice calligraphy

Seal reads 孝 (filial)

My reading of calligraphy,
静和　　-　Seiwa (Calm and gentle) or Shizukazu
(Name of a female)
ソニー侍賞　-　Sony Samurai Shō　（Sony Samurai Award
Reading of seal,
孝　　-　Kō　　　(Filial piety)

With regards,
I.Nagy
