Inane Trivia [again] from Guy

Taka-san is faster than me.

Faster than me too!!! .... but he's in a different timezone!!


Musing on the given name Takematsu [Bamboo Pine]
竹松 - Takematsu

It suddenly struck me as funny .... if you use the on-yomi ("Sound-reading" based on Chinese), his surname COULD be pronounced ...

ChikuShou
畜生

ChikuShou !!! ["what you shout when you hit your thumb with the hammer"]
It literally means "Beast!" but also has the implication of "Son of a B*tch!", ... especially if you say "chikushou-me!" 畜生目

Back to the name:

松竹梅 Pine - Bamboo - Plum (shou-chiku-bai) are three plants that flourish in winter, as such, you will see them around the New Year celebration. I wonder if he was born in winter?

By the way [more trivia], there is even a California-brewed sake called Shou-Chiku-Bai

Cap issued to demobilized troops I think?

[Jareth]

Nice cap! Enlisted model far more scarce than common officers. Finding one named is tough!

[J7W22007]

Thanks, Bruno-san!

That's a very nice named early cap, indeed!

Cheers!

大支検定 - Daishi Inspected

So for clarification, does Daishi inspected mean "Inspected at the Osaka branch" or is there something else to this portion of the stamp?


Thanks!
