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
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.

<- Hmm?? It's "Tuesday, 30th, March" (火, 日:参拾, 月:参), no?

I believe it's written right-to-left. 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)".
