Hi guys. I have a family friend that is techno-illiterate. I am trying to sell a couple of ivory figurines for her and am in the process of trying to upload the details to ebay, but I've run into a problem.
My wife went over and took the pictures....lets just say she cant focus a camera.
I have tried all night to sharpen these images to some sort of quality, where you can tell the amount of work that went into these figurines, but nothing I can do helps...
I finally decided to just draw over the symbols etched in the bottom to bring them out more, but I just dont think I got them right... take a look.

Any of you Japanese savvy people may be able to recognize these, or they may be Chinese or something... Im not sure.
Also if any of the more skilled photoshop artists would like to take these few files and clean them up for me, I would GREATLY appreciate it as youd be doing not only me, but our family friend, a big favor.(These things are supposed to be worth 1-2k at least)
Here's a link for the photos.
