September 10th - 1:10 pm:
There seem to be a few devices in this mansion that are engraved with old characters. When I asked Mr. Takamine about them, he said they correspond to numbers.
I understand the first few.

They're the old characters for the numbers 0 through 3.
But I don't get the rest.
They're characters that have the same readings as 4 through 9, but mean something different.

• 零 = 0
  
• 壱 = 1
  
• 弐 = 2
  
• 参 = 3
  
• 肆 = 4
  
• 伍 = 5
  
• 陸 = 6
  
• 柒 = 7
  
• 捌 = 8
  
• 玖 = 9
  

I guess each one has a special meaning. I'll figure out the rest later.

• 伍＝５
  
• 陸＝６　　　
  
• 漆＝７　　　
  
• 捌＝８
  
• 玖＝９
  

それぞれが意味を持っているらしい。
詳しくは帰ってから調べることにする。

Player's Note:

• This note is extremely important if you are playing the Play Station 2 version of the game, since it will help you be able to solve some of the number puzzles later on. So many players had issues with this, in the Xbox version, the puzzles were changed to show numbers instead of the kanji, thus making this text invalid.
