any guys who can read Japanese?

Guys here i have found two vases i am not sure what they read. i would be glad if some one who can read Japanese could translate them to me.

 

I haven't time to do much with these now, but they're both commemorative souvenirs, from 1977 and 1985, respectively.

 

wow really is that what it reads. i thought its much older than that

 

...might be some girls who can too...

 

hey Khl889 i was about to buy those two thinking they are old. if what you say is true. i think i better stop it right?

 

Hey thanks a lot at Khl889

 

Right !!

 

why did u think these were older......

 

You can pretty easily see for yourself. One's dated Showa 52 Year 9 Month (September, 1977) and the other's dated Showa 60 Year 7 Month 25 Day (July 25, 1985). That date's molded into the piece, no less.

 

the top of the vase was very solid copper as i thought. was very heavy. and the deterioration of the metal. Then again should have thought more. By the way are there any significant traces that is not old at Komokwa?

 

lol couldnt read the language. actually first i though it was Chinese. Then one of my friends said they are Japanese.

 

khl889, seems like you have very much experience with these stuff right? any way you saved my day. thanks

 

even knowing nothing but what I pick up here.....that much script on the base in a modern style of curvature is like nothing i've ever seen on an older item...

 

@komokwa. really what is the significance of the curvature of older items.

 

As I wrote in your earlier thread about these bronzes:

"recent Chinese Shang style bronzes made to look old. Shang was an early Chinese dynasty ca. 1600 to 1046 BC. Their designs have been an inspiration for later styles."

"These bronzes were probably commissioned by the grateful Chinese patient."

They are just a few days older now.

 

Yeah lol any Jewelry that was true. But i was curios regarding what was on the back of the vase . Hey then again @Any Jewelry is the attach vase below of shang dynasty style too??

 

@khl889 mind if i ask what the year of this one?

 

No date there, just inscribed as a gift. Fair to say this doesn't date to antiquity, though.

 

Hey thanks a lot at khl889...
