Hiya, hoping someone would be able to help with this? I've got someone booked in for tomorrow who sent this reference, and reverse image search only brought up something similar but not the same! So I'm not sure if another artist has redrawn it or if it's been put through AI, but I would love to go into the appointment knowing what it means so I can talk it through with him. Thanks :)

Edit: think he put a samurai calligraphy drawing and the characters for courage through AI! I'd never tattoo something I didn't find the original meaning of and won't be tattooing this, just wanted to prepare what to say when he comes in :)

I found this a while ago and I’ve tried to translate it myself using online tools, but I’ve had no success. I’m up late and I’m very curious as to what it says and what could be the context of what it’s for? I would be very appreciative if someone would explain to me what it says and if it’s even anything worth being so curious about.

We think it may be Chinese but honestly have no idea if it means anything

Maybe a button or old coin? Smaller than an inch in circumference, and very thin and flimsy but made of metal. Very rusted, tried to remove some with vinegar. Think it looks either Chinese or Japanese…. Just curious if anyone can help! Photos aren’t the best.

I am presently staying in a place where paintings like this are hanging on the wall. Can you tell me what is written there and what the significan of it is?

I suspect these are signatures or maybe a title? These are the markings on my friend’s Japanese Wood Block. All help is appreciated, thank you.

4:26-7:45 please, thank you in advance

Received via sporadic E by my friend in Libya, so it would be anywhere between roughly 1300-2600km away in theory, although it could theoretically be a double hop. To me it sounds to be a Caucasian language but I'm unsure.

Trying to understand this minimal piece of dialogue missing from the subs. Thank you very much!

I redacted what I believe are names but it looks like it's a birth certificate? Very interested if anyone has any idea!

I got this shirt from one half of the suicideboys,ruby clothing line,warbux. I’m still trying to figure out what it actually says. I try Google Translate and no luck. It’s give me different answers.

Edit: thank you for who answered my question.

I asked my friend who is good with photoshop to make me a graphic of korean on old paper, and i gave her lyrics from two songs to use as the text. Bowever i have a weird feeling that its AI (one reason is that i asked her to omit any oh’s and aah’s from the lyrics yet its still there)

We got these prints at a local auction with absolutely no information about them. We would love to know what the text says and if the red stamp is a legible makers mark we can research. Thank you!

I have been unable to determine who made this chisel any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm an American with Czech ancestry. My mom found these placards in storage and hung them up for the time being. What do they mean, and should they be hung up in a particular order?

Hello,

I’m hoping someone can help translate these inscriptions. I believe they may be in Ge’ez, but I’m not certain.

The inscriptions are engraved on an old religious cross. I’ve attached close-up photos of each inscription.

If anyone can translate the text or identify names, prayers, biblical passages, or other religious references, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you very much!

scene from sakamoto days..."fully subtitled" except for this scene.

I believe the characters are Chinese, please help!

I purchased an old Japanese plane (kanna) while in Japan. On the sides it seems to mention "Registered Trademark". However I'm struggling with the markings in the middle. The top 2 characters seem to write Aki Hisa, but I can't figure out the last character. One suggestion I found was "作" which would make sense, but it seems to be written quite different. Does anyone have more insights into this?
