Japan Korean Annexation Commemorative Medal - set

[Dieter3]

One possibility for the name:

Urushiya Sen according to my "source".

... according to my "source".

Wife?

I'll never tell.........

Personal names are notoriously difficult even for native speakers. Even common ones sometimes have more than one way to be read. This kanji 詮 when used in a name can be read thusly:

Akira

Satoshi

Aki

Sato

Toshi

Tomo

Nori

However, the latter 5 appear to be readings when used with another kanji. So either of the first two is most likely (never definitive without more info, though).

The family name appears to be, as written above, Urushiya or Urushidani.

@ Fukuoka: Thanks a lot! Can you recommend any kanji lexicon for (Japanese) family names? Nelson and/or Hadamitzky lexica are not working well engough. And even my old kougo jiten doesn't help me a lot then it comes to names...

BR,

Kankoku Heigou Kinen Shou

I am! I love to know everything about what I'm collecting. Pronunciation of European and Eastern Baltic/Russian decorations is not a problem, but when I get into decorations of Asian origin, I'm in trouble! Glad to have you all around to fill in the blanks!
