kaigunair Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 Just began subscribing and decided to try my hand at translating articles of interest. I'm stuck on the cover page. How is the kanji in the title translated? 館 蔵 品 鑑賞 ガイド I hiragana, I believe its "かん、ぞう、ひん、かんしょう、がいど". I'm having trouble figuring out how to translate the first 3 characters. Is it "Collection of products", or "Museum storehouse products" "castle warehouse goods" appreciation guide. Am I close? Thanks in advance. Quote

kaigunair Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Posted January 19, 2013 Ah, thanks Chris. Much appreciated! I'm trying to figure things out word by word but the full meaning is very helpful. So is kanzohin = collection? or is it something more akin to treasury item, something stored in a safe? If anyone's interested, here's a few hours worth of translations from the new 2013 catalog...
