Hi! I’m not sure if this is the best place to post these questions. If I'm in the wrong group, I’d appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.
Can anyone help me with identification and translation of these Japanese rice molds? I picked them up from a recycle shop in the Kanagawa Prefecture in 2005/06. I can upload more pictures if you need add’l detail for any of them.
My questions…
1. Are they antique or just old/worn? How can I tell?
-
What is the significance – if any – of the designs?
-
Can you translate the kanji?
Thank you for your help!
