Dr Caitlin Green is trying to trace a piece of inscribed bronze metalwork reportedly discovered during archaeological excavations on the north bank of the Thames in 1989. The find was briefly reported in the journal Monumenta Nipponica, 47 (1992), 99–105 at p. 100, where it was read as the Japanese character 藤, Fuji, and the piece was said to be from the 13thC AD and to be a pre-1540 import. Any reminiscences of such a find would be greatly appreciated!
