Hi, i have a writing done by Nobuyoshi Tamura, but i don't understand it.
Tamura wrote this for a friend of mine (Johan), but he can't read Japanese.
I can look up kanji etc .. but i have a bit of trouble deciphering his handwriting. Can anyone help ?
Tnx a lot !!!!!!!

It says:
The first year of the Heisei Emperor, April 20th
Tamura Nobuyoshi
Mr. Johan
The first line apparently is a word written on notes that accompany a gift, or something to that effect.
I'm going to take Mike Cash's word for the '20th', I can't make head nor tails of the kanji after the 二.

It says "I can look up kanji etc .. but i have a bit of trouble deciphering his handwriting."

A bit. Yeah, a bit. A small bit. Anyway, to make up for ruining his chance to learn to do something for himself, I will include this link in the hopes that it will lead him down the true path.
