"This plate is
for temporary operation of a vehicle, most often used by used car dealers. They
are issued at the municipal level.
The Kanji on the left denote the Land Transportation Office region (in this
case Naniwa, which is the downtown part of Osaka), and the Kanji at the bottom
right denote the municipal division, in this case it is Kita-ku (North Ward)
of the city.
This is a current style (January 2008) plate, it is not easy to know how old
this actually is, I'm guessing 5-10 years old at most."
