<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave L, post: 1790669, member: 26285&quot;]I&#039;m glad you liked my article.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Your note was issued in 1864 by a temple called Kanren, which I think means &#039;connection/relation&#039;. I can&#039;t pinpoint it precisely, but I think it is from the Toba clan (han).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Part of the trouble with these notes is that, besides my speaking only English, and a little Spanish,&nbsp; there are different styles of writing on them. You&#039;d think that Japanese Kanji would be the main one, but it&#039;s Chinese, and they have different scripts: Seal scripts, clerical scripts, formal scripts... and then there are the handwritten ones - some not so easily recognizable. That&#039;s tough when you&#039;re trying to match up a symbol with thousands of others in a book. It&#039;s a big puzzle a lot of times. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>12 Dollars is a pretty decent price - especially in that condition. I usually spend about 10-15 dollars, but I recently spent 30 dollars on one - just because it had a mouse on it (my wife likes mice in artwork). It was supposed to be a fairly scarce note, but that might mean that its only scare in the western part of the world![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
