I have a wall mirror with some I believe Japanese message on it. I’d appreciate if anyone can translate it.
The picture below is clickable. Enlarged picture of the writing is in the listing. I don’t know how to bring it here.

Hi, that is in Chinese characters (not in Japanese).
It was quoted from an old poem from Tang Dynasty [URL removed]
- Only after polishing, the sword will be sharp; only after suffering severe winter, the plum blossom will be adorous.
(It simply implies " the more obstacles you overcome, the stronger you become")…
- I hope this helps your some? Happy Holidays, MONTY

Remember these tips:
- Use links to other sources to support your opinions
- Use examples where possible
- Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?
Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
