Hello,
I am a newcomer on this forum and I have no proficiency in asian languages.
My russian great father went from Vladivostok, Russia, to Tsuruga, Japan, in 1918. There are some stampings by the Japanese authorities on his passport I cannot clearly understand.
On the included pictures I could read
Picture 1:
upper part: Prefecture of Fukui
center: control or check or checkpoint. Right?
lower part: Taisho Era, year 7th, month 9th, day 30th (1918/09/30). I am unsure of the day. Is 30 right?
Picture 2:
Taisho Era, year 7th, month 9th, day 15th, visa (1918/09/15). I am unsure of the day. Is 15 right?
Picture 3:
In french we say "je donne ma langue au chat" = I give up.
This marking might be the seal of the Japanese Consul General Kikuchi Giro
I thank you in advance for your help
Best regards
