| My mate could get this one.  He works for Dublin Corporation (City Council), it's nicknamed 'the Corpo' If I ever was going to get a tattoo of these charaters, I'd run it by you first Shinpachi!

I've thought about restoring the wood finish and having the characters re-polished. But now that I know what it says, I'll leave it alone, and let it continue to age gracefully  Thank You for the translation, Shinpachi!

| Hi, muller! The Chinese charactor is "Ming". Pronunciation is same in Japan and it means "People" . If "corpo" is Portuguese, as the photo was taken in Portugal, my Google says it means " body". Yes, please consult with me first in the future
