Maybe it's the part on the left which says "Special #4 63" (特 四 号)
This 1972 guitar from Yahoo Auctions says "Special #3 63" and was made by the same person as yours.

The part of the label that is important here is "ZEN-ON SUWA CO., LTD." The rest of the label is just smoke and mirrors.

Assessing/evalutating a guitar from its label--especially at this level of manufacturing--isn't going to reveal much. This guitar was a (cheap) mass production item, and not hand-made, in spite of what it says. I'd guess that the woods used for the top/sides/back are probably laminate (a polite way to say 'plywood') rather than solid.

Thanks so much for your Opinion. I also notice the model special no 4 written in the label that means it worth yen 40000 in 1971. I could be solid top but i am not sure. Back and side is laminated. How do you think Saburo Nogami guitar made in 1968
