I lived in Japan for 17 years and recognized the grouping of six numbers embossed 53' 11' 10 resembles Japanese ERA dating system (No. of Yrs' Mo' day') based on emperor's reign. Current emperor started his reign in the year 1988 and the one before him in 1925. Adding 1925 to 'number of years in power' which is 53 equates to (1925+53) 1978.
So If my guess is right, mine was manufactured (at least the harp)
exactly on Nov. 10 1978
exactly on Nov. 10 1978
For other Kawai upright owners, please confirm if this discovery holds water.

By your method of calculations my piano was made on the 27th of Feb 1984.
The serial number is M1504298 which dates it some where between 1984 and 1985. With the same calculations as you have used 1925 + 59 ( number of years in power ) = 1984 and the rest is self evident Feb 27th. How great is that. Thank you so much for your information this has been excellent history learning for me about my piano. ??
