How to read 火日参拾月参


I'm trying to figure out on how to read this properly

> 火日参拾月参

[![enter image description

The translation is supposed to be

> Monday, March 13th

Now maybe it's because I'm still confused on what the correct reading
direction is (left-to-right or righ-to-left), but I still don't understand why
it's supposed to be " **Monday** ".

I (think I) do know the following

> 月参 = month 3 = March
>
> 参拾 = 3 1 = 13

But then I'm left with

> 火日 = ?

I tried looking up just the days of the week...

> 火曜日 = Tuesday ; 月曜日 = Monday

...but that confused me even further.




I believe it's written [right-to-
left](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/13076/5010). After changing the
direction, it's:

> 参月 拾参日 火

Or:

> 三月 十三日 火

Which reads "March", " **13th** (day of month)", " **Tuesday** ",
respectively. Perhaps the translator was also confused :)

As you probably know, the standard format of dates in Japanese is `month 月 day
日`, optionally followed by the day of the week. For example, today is
"2月28日(木)".
