how to translate Japanese or Chinese characters?

[evry1nositswindy]

I have a gorgeous black lacquer sushi plate set that is designed by Kansai.  I believe it is Kansai Yamamoto.  These papers came inside the box but I don't know how to use google translate with characters I can't type on my keyboard.  Any ideas?

I believe you can scan printing into Google translate. Maybe?

It's extremely unlkely that anyone here is going to be able to help, unfortunately.  Even if you could input the characters or the image in a translator, the chances of an accurate translation would be slim. 

You're Near Wittinberg University, so you could  ask for help from someone in the East Asian Studies Program there:

Or, you can try this Reddit translation site:

I don't have that ability...or know how, embarrassingly enough.

At the Reddit site I linked to, you can post a picture, just as you did here, and human beings will look at it.

To do the Google thing, you need a smart phone and an app for it:
