The serial numbers on Japanese rifles should be in standard western numerals (Arabic). If you are sure its an Arisaka, and the serial number is not using Arabic numerals, it should be a Siamese Arisaka.

Here is a page that will help with Japanese markings on an Arisaka:

If it is Siamese, the numbers are translated here:

Also, be careful as there is a Siamese Mauser as well. Perhaps you might want to post a pic so we can help ID the rifle.
