Original Message: "signed with a Kakihan"

The signature tells us that these were "signed with a Kakihan" =cursive script rather than printing in Japanese calligraphy. And it is not possible to be certain of the translation.
From my experience, by comparison this is the most commonly used signature I have found on commercial quality ojime made for the Western market during the 1920's and 30's. There were so many with this signature that I would be surprised to learn that they were all made by the same person.
And, by comparison, these are not slide closures for an inro called "Ojime." They are a group of graduated beads made for usage in a necklace.
