Hi, it’s just a person’s name (in Japanese) and the characters [URL removed]
大本ï¼ä¸å³¶å®¶ï¼
Large book! Nakajima house!
by Oomoto
ä¸å³¶å®¶ï¼Nakajima ke
Nakajima house! Nakajima ke
Overall summary basically means that}
Nakajima ‘ke’ means Nakajima Family
And Oomoto doesn’t
‘ke’ = Gift from Nakajima family and Oomoto family.
Traditional Japan, usually husband’s family writes the name first and wife’s family follows for this kinda custom ceremony (gift invitation type)
Thank you, Monty

www.gotheborg.com is an excellent source for Asian markings. I don’t know any of them by sight yet, but I’m working on it. And Swims might know, yes, good one Cindy Bear.
I do know you have them sideways, turn the picture so the symbol that looks most like a cursive T is pointing straight up. That would be the one currently in the third row and on the bottom.
