Hey Thomas, thanks for your effort, you got alot farther in the kanji identification than I did. I think your translations really help in describing the product and really add to the post. Arigato gozaimashita.

hi! i stumble upon an article from this blog and it makes me feel like i wanna read more. it’s a great and interesting blog especially because i am really into reading about the history of tokyo right now! by the way i didn’t study about this problem so long but the kanji are some kind of decoration right ? like the japanese style imagery ?
the 1st word 佐武　can be read “sabu” but it’s a name and not of anyone famous, a manga character seems to be called this way and he’s a samurai.
The next to kanji are not a word but basically mean “good” and “rank”, so a cosmetics from a “good quality”, not high, not low just good, which explain why there is not product with this in japan, because there are other words than mean, high quality or luxurious (高級 is one of them).
About the last words, it’s completely out of my range as i can not read the first kanji 5th from the top, it doesn’t look right actually. The last one can be find in 神社（shrine） or 会社（company） but i have no clue as the first one is unreadable.
　the two out of the brownish part where the 6 kanji are written, are probably 福 and 壽. the 1st one is probably happiness, the second is an old writting of 寿 which has congratulations in one of its meanings.
i’m not doctor es kanji but i never miss an opportunity to study so i took the last hour to think about it.
thanks again for your interesting blog.
