Gotheborg is a good resource for Asian marks, however you have to scan thru the various makers to see if they have yours. I don’t read the language either and I can’t make out your mark on the bottom at all, it’s too small.
If you live near a big city, check to see if the college there has an Asian Languages department. Some professors will take on an unusual item to challenge their students, you can ask and see if they are willing.
Good luck to you.

I don’t know anything about it, but I googled Japanese translation and this is one of the sites that came up. Give it a shot…it might be helpful.

I encountered a lack of practice in Japanese when I took courses on [URL removed] . It looked like a waste of time. However, I found a better way on the Internet. For example, you can search for a good Japanese tutor on the website [URL removed] . This is how I improved my knowledge.
