Research and responses: Information given by Professor Itaru Chijiwa, Assistant Professor Seiji Hoshino (both from Kokugakuin University) and Norifumi Shimazu (Association of Shinto Shrines) during a research visit, November 2009. Notes on .468 printout – attempts to read the text. The group did not know why such pieces as these should have been handed out at a hotel. The two symbols on the right are thought to the name of the place ‘Okitsu’ [see printout] and the middle column the name of the hotel. [El.B 21/01/2010]
