suketaka Posted September 19, 2021 Report Posted September 19, 2021 Dear members, please help. I get a pair iron charcoale sticks. The tag on the box and the ink Kanji are a mystery for me - as usual... Thank you Quote
SteveM Posted September 19, 2021 Report Posted September 19, 2021 第六八一囗 鉄透シ彫銀象嵌 茶用火箸一対 681st ? Iron openwork carving with silver inlay One pair of chopsticks for tea (presumably "tea ceremony") I can't read the writing on the outside of the box. I'm also unable to figure out what the "681" reference is. The artists 681st work? Hopefully someone will chime in and clear it up. Edit: Maybe the box lid says 火ばし (Hibashi - brazier chopsticks).

Nobody Posted September 20, 2021 Report Posted September 20, 2021 The first line is "第六八一号 (681st)". The last character on the paper is an informal variant of 号 (go), which is a counter word in this case. 3 Quote
k morita Posted September 20, 2021 Report Posted September 20, 2021 Hi, 火ばし(hi-ba-shi) means tongs. 3 Quote
