Bazza Posted July 10, 2024 Report Posted July 10, 2024 Dear Folk, I have tried to translate a kanji in a NTHK origami without success. I have trawled nelson until I'm blue in the face without finding it, which suggests I'm missing something very obvious... Can someone please tell me what the last character reads after the era MEIREIKI?? Here is a photo. Thanks and best regards, Barry Thomas aka BaZZa. 1 Quote
xiayang Posted July 10, 2024 Report Posted July 10, 2024 The character is 頃 (wiktionary link). 明暦頃 means "around the Meireki era". 4 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted July 10, 2024 Report Posted July 10, 2024 Bazza, sometimes it’s the radical that tricks us. In this case the 9-stroke 頁 on the right is actually the radical. 2 Quote
Bazza Posted July 10, 2024 Author Report Posted July 10, 2024 Piers san, even being aware of the radical issue didn't help me. Maybe I put it abck to front! I'm grateful for the help. Thanks. BaZZa. 1 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted July 10, 2024 Report Posted July 10, 2024 There’s an app called KanjiLookup which I recommend. Great, in fact dead easy, once you get the hang of it! 2 Quote
