Imari Plate
Can anyone translate these chinese & japanese symbols?
I have a few old plates with only japanese on them, would appreciate any help from someone who can decipher these symbols.
First four are of the same plate-

The words written in Xiaozhuan style on the first plate are supposed to be a famous couplet by Zhu Xi, a respected scholar in the ancient Song Dynasty (960-1279). The original context should be 日月兩輪天地眼 讀書萬卷聖賢心, but the word 卷 is missing on this plate.
Let me know if you need further explanation.

It looks like a seal/stamp saying 丸英. The manufacturer’s name, I guess.

Looks like Chinese characters 秦暻燓, but it doesn’t mean anything. Manufacturer’s name again maybe.

They’re simply Japanese kanjis saying 芸術 (art) 伊萬里 (imari).
