Re: Trying to identify inscriptions on bottom silver dragon box

The kanji in the cartouche at right in the photo is on its side, 90-degrees left of reading position. flipped correctly, the first three stacks look to be as follows:

日本 - Japan
東京 - Tokyo
川林 - Kawabayashi (surname)
??? - Uncertain

The large character within the square at left also appears to be flipped but will require a bit more staring down to figure out.

Best regards,

Bill H.
