[QUOTE="Mattiques, post: 126334, member: 1282"]Hi guys, Just bought this cane and need some help. I'm trying to work out if it's chinese or japanese. I really recognise the double horned character but can't think of its name or origin and because of that I can't type it into Google to help! Ha So if anyone can tell me anything about the carvings and if they are chinese or japanese that would be helpful. It carved onto a bamboo stick. It has writing on it which should also help identify its origin so if anyone can read that, I'd be very impressed and greatful! Also, I'm thinking it's 19th century, probably 1880ish but if anyone has a more definite idea of age that would be great. Thanks guys.[ATTACH]32237[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]32238[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]32239[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]32240[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]32241[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
