A friend sent me these pictures, and I was hoping to get him a translation. Apologies for the picture quality. Thoughts?

Hi! This looks like a 兼友/Kanetomo.

 

Edited:

 

A 友 with an extra dot on the upper-right is one of the older ways to write 友, first seen usage from at least the end of the Three Kingdoms time(220 AD~). All of these are from the Tang dynasty (618 - 907 AD), though.

It seems that Koto period Kanetomo uses this version more often, with occasional regular 友.
