Not sure...Any chance you can write it in kana. the '...im as' part could be 'imasu ãã¾ããwhich means '...it is'
'...bon...' could be a counter for something long and slender and is written has æ¬
But that does not make sense because 'donbon' makes no sense has a counter.
maybe it could be yonbon written has åæ¬which means 4 slender objects
But then 'Yon bon imasu' åæ¬ãã¾ãã(it is four) does not really make that much sense either.
Sorry I cannot be much more help than that.

it would probably be a little more helpful if you gave us the Pinyin for it...i'm not quite sure...it doesn't really seem like chinese, and i don't think that it's japanese either...
