id like to hear  more about that Rabbit 

 

ignorant that I am

 

Id have guessed it would be unusual to see Japanese 

 

and Chinese inscriptions so close together .

 

of course , the meanings might be

 

' salty '

That‘s this years ema (絵馬 or „picture-horse“ - a wooden sign) from my friends home shrine, depicting the rabbit for the year of the rabbit. Japanese use two alphabets (hiragana and katakana) and the Chinese-derived script (kanji) in a mixed way …

My daughter's fiancee is a whisky lover (a very restrained whisky lover) so for Christmas, I went to our local government liquor store and asked for a "decent bottle of whiskey, under $100.00. The fellow there recommended Auchentoshan 12. The recipient was delighted with it and I was delighted when I saw a bottle in @Duvel's collection.
