This really is off the top of my head but; has anyone ever tried transcribing the epitaph in Katakana? Given Kinzo's love of western culture and the typical purpose of Katakana, I imagine it would be worth a look at least.
BTW, I'm not too good with Kanji and Hiragana and stuff, but doesn't 高 = Takai, which can be taken to mean "The next life" or something to that effect?
