lach470 Posted February 19, 2009 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
lach470 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 Here's a quickie shot of the helmet and where she sits.....More detailed pics will follow when the sun comes up! Rob
Paul L Murphy Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Rob,I sent you an email. His family name is Ueda but I cannot pronounce his given name.Cheers,Paul
lach470 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 Got it Paul! Very cool! I appreciate you giving me what you can! Your time is much appreciated! Cheers!Rob
lach470 Posted February 22, 2009 Author 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
Brian Wolfe Posted February 22, 2009 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
Gunjinantiques Posted February 22, 2009 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.
