John C Posted March 29 Report Posted March 29 This is scratched in a commemorative paperweight. I'm pretty confident of the second kanji as 田 "ta", which is clearer in person, however the first kanji is only a guess 塩 (salt; sodium cloride). Seems odd for a name. Any guesses would be much appreciated. John C. 1 Quote

nulldevice Posted March 29 Report Posted March 29 嶋田 - Shimada? Its an alternate spelling of Shimada but IDK if that's it. 1 Quote
xiayang Posted March 29 Report Posted March 29 塩田 (Shioda) is a valid Japanese last name. https://myoji-yurai.net/searchResult.htm?myojiKanji=塩田 3 Quote
John C Posted March 30 Author Report Posted March 30 Thank you, Jan. I forgot the alternate pronunciation of ta as da. Much appreciated Chandler and Jan - and Sam for moving the thread. John C. 1 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted March 30 Report Posted March 30 Both Shioda and Shiota are common readings of this family name 塩田. I have a friend who says ‘Shiota’. 1 1 Quote
