Translation on an Arrow Case please..

[Barrie B]

Hi all,

 

I have this arrow case that has something written on the front and I am curious to know what it says. Can anyone out there please translate this for me?

 

I don't know much about arrow cases, so will post some more pictures in a more appropriate discussion database later - in an attempt to learn something..

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

This writing is very nice a proverb(a maxim).

The proverb says that 満堂和氣生嘉祥.

Meaning is "Getting along with people makes results good/happy".

Morita,

 

Thank you very much..! Do you know why a proverb like that would be written on an arrow case? Perhaps it was a gift or something?

Hi,

I do not know who/why wrote the proverb.

But,brush writing technique is good.
