Hi stillh2os44,
Using Western digits, the Japanese way to write September 10, 2005 is:
2005?9?10?
The Japanese characters might not be visible if you are not using a
browser that can handle Japanese text. If you are unable to see them,
please let me know so that I can provide you a graphic version.
There are others ways to represent the date (imperial dates or using
Kanji digits), but they are not as widespread as this way.
I hope this is what you're looking for. If you still have questions
regarding this answer, please request for clarification before rating
it.

Hi, thanks for your quick response to my question about Japanese
translation of September 10, 2005. You mentioned the possibility of
the possibility of a graphic version. Although I can see the Japanese
characters in your answer, I'm wondering if there is a more
esthetically pleasing version (without western numbers) as the date is
a wedding date and I'm making a piece of art in which I waqnt to
incorporate the Japanese characters for the date. Any suggestions
would be welcomed.

Hi stillh2os44,
Here are some other ways to write the date:
Emperor style, Western digits:
??17?9?10? (Heisei [Akihito] year 17, month 9, day 10)
Emperor style, Kanji digits:
????????? (Heisei year 17, month 9, day 10)
There is a traditional way to write month names that is still used in
poetic works, but except for the name of December (?? - shiwasu) they
are not widely used.
I hope this answers your question.
