I was trying to sell an oriental piece a few months ago and went thru auctions and fround someone from Peking selling. Wrote and asked if they would help me.they said sure. I sent them a jpg and they responded. You might give that method a try. Hope it helps
PS I PERSONALLY THINK ITS TDF FABULOUS LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU LIST IT IF YOU DO!

Hi toasted.

What a wonderful find! Maybe stopwhining will be able to help you. I know you're great at doing research so you may already have these sites.

This one, if you put 'saimeido' into google, you can get the English translation..... some of it anyways.

Thanks for the links Kiara ! I'll check them out tonight after I get dinner cooked...Whew My 1 day a week volunteer job sometimes runs me ragged.
Another good idea BJBOSWELL...we know a local woman that may be able to read it also .I just haven't had the time to take it by. My husband was so thrilled over it so I know he'll never sell it...we paid 50.00 .I think that was a pretty good deal
