Posted By: Bill H Sun, Feb 15, 2015
The ten-character mark appears to consist of the following characters, though I have no idea how to translate or transcribe them all properly in Japanese. In case you want to pore over it, here's the result of machine translation through the WWWJDIC program a.k.a. the Jim Breen Dictionary at Australia's Monash University:
