Here are the Japanese characters from a record sleeve indicating it was made by "Toshiba Musical Industries Ltd." at the bottom of the back cover.
Two key identifying characteristics with which the collector should be familiar are the circled letter symbol and the price.
There are important to note because TOSHIBA would reprint records from time to time without changing catalog numbers but with different symbols and price designations.
The words "MFD. BY TOSHIBA MUSICAL INDUSTRIES LTD. IN JAPAN" was printed at the perimeter, and "LONG PLAYING" was printed at the bottom of the label.

Nota: Obi
"Obi" is the word for "sash." When talking about records, the obi is a paper sash that wraps around the cover, containing bits of information about the record. Because the obis were normally discarded, an original obi is often worth more than the record it wrapped around.
