Well someone beat me to posting my observations.

I hope they help somebody.

Not that anyone seems to be sharing these days. But that's ok =)

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
if you take number the y axis as letters, then the faint line spells: furtivis literarum. This relates to a book on cryptography called De Furtivis Literarum by Giambattista della Porta, who created his own substitution cipher.

CipherClerk's applet includes the Della Porta cipher, but I still can't figure out if we are supposed to be making our own table in that style (which the 26 x 26 seems to indicate) or if we are just supposed to use the original cypher on the letters that are given.

That was me. Terribly sorry but I thought you asked me to do this. My mistake.

In other news,

http://www.omniscienteyes.com/larch.html

updated to add a number 2 on the graph.

I think the 2 was added to show us that we should work on the fainter line first, as it show us how the main graph line is encoded.(See JimmyImpossible's post above)

This links to a short explanation and example of the Porta Cipher.

Edited to correct name

 		Slyfox and enaxor -

Thanks. I can't speak for the others of my team who have been faithfully posting public information as well as "solves" here, but personally, I was starting to feel a bit lonely here on the forums so I truly appreciate the contributions. I hope that more players/ lurkers here will take note of the increased complexity of the puzzles and enjoy working on them too.

Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

I can't see the second line now or the words at the bottom - is it just me or have they gone?

 		Also

The word at the bottom is in red and a circle points to the point on the graph where the 2 is used.

 		missing letters
Some of the Japanese text is hidden. I don't know how to reproduce it here but the contrast has to be turned way down to see it. I don't know how long it has been there either.

This isn't a very good, but at least you can see it.
