Writing Under Sode

[Anthony R]

Hi everyone. I received some sode that came in rough condition. I looked under the cloth and found rice paper with writing?? Can anyone say what this is? I did read that rice paper was used under some parts of armor. Can someone read it? If re-laced, the paper will be further damaged. 

 

Thanks

Needs to go in translation section

Anthony,

if you want to put the photos in the correct orientation and post them in the TRANSLATION section, you might have more success.

First and second photo (not much to read) with a 90° left turn.
Third photo with a 90° right turn, but then it is still mirrored (= backside).
Forth photo with 90° left turn, but it is also mirrored (= backside).

I assume these papers are just a kind of padding or a means to stiffen the object. I don't think they have to do with the armour; might even be printed.

OK, Thanks, 

I didn't realize where was a translation section. I agree with it probably being used for just backing.
