Transcription Notes:
I was researching the president of yamanaka and co in 1912 says that the man who was president was Sadajiro Yamaguchi who was trading Korean artifacts, however the name written here looks like it starts with a M. Perhaps it was a misspelling? Just needs help transcribing that name and one other name
