The correct reading may be;

 

Shichi-Sho Hokoku

 

[Bugyotsuji]

Are we supposed to write our answers here?

 

I can't see Nobody's answer... did you actually write something, Koichi san?

 

Ooooh... it's dark in here!

There is a new spoiler function running, that you can use to hide answers until people want to see them.

You should see a box saying spoiler and a box next to it saying "show"

If you click the box marked show, it should show the text inside it.

Do you not see that? I am not sure if it uses Javascript or not, but it works for me and the others I have asked?

Thanks for your interpretation of the slogan, very interesting, well wait until others have a chance to post their take on it.

My seven rebirths I dedicate to my country

 

 

Actually, I cheated a bit by looking at the replies and doing a bit of research. It seems to be a mixture of two sayings, the first half Buddhist. Very interesting. We like these puzzles!
