lach470 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hey gang...Not sure if this is Kanji or not - it's on the liner of my first Japanese helmet. I will have to take some decent pics though - lighting inside is horrible and it's dark outside now. In any case - looks like the owner might have written his name inside the liner. Are any of you able to translate this stuff? No worries if you can't - thought I'd ask. Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lach470 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Took some better pics in daylight! Here they be....I have to say that I really like this helmet. Given that I've always gone for German lids - maybe because it's my first, I think it looks pretty cool! Cheers!Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Wolfe Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hi Rob,Nice helmet.I really like your flag. I have one of my own and I tried to translate the Kanji using a book called "Kanji Guide". It took days and days of searching and I still only managed translate only three of the symbols. It was a nightmare! Good luck on getting the translation, I wish I could help (but I value my sanity). RegardsBrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunjinantiques Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hi, I'm new here and not sure if I'm posting this in the right place... I can translate that for you... It reads Kuwata Jotohei (Lance Corporal Kuwata). Kuwata is the family name, his given name isn't there. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
