Date character driving me mad - please help

[Cuirassier]

Hi

The forth character in this date is driving me mad!

I think it looks like "Uma" (horse), but it can't be, right?

I have so far;

Nagato (Province) (1st and 2nd characters)

Shichi (3rd character)

(4th character)

Ni Gatsu (February) (5th and 6th characters)

Hi (Hello) (7th Character)

 

I have tried several other options, but nothing seems to work.

Please, without the use of a gun, put me out of my misary

 

Cheers

Mark

PS The second image is the mei itself, but I believe I already have that covered.

Hi Mark

Wow, that was quick, thank you.

But I can still not find the character.

OK, I can see what you say means (I think) 1788 in our terms.

But I want to understand the date myself, so the character ID is important if you can please.

Cheers

Mark

Thanks Guys

So Mark, does that mean I got the first two or even three characters wrong?

Tenmei 天明= period name

shichinen 七年= year 7

nigatsu 二月= month 2
