Hi and welcome to Pearl-Guide!
Are you thinking of restringing them and wearing them, or selling them?
If selling, consider the fact that pearls do not tend to hold their value on resale unless they are of historic value or a well-known name brand like Mikimoto. Their condition, luster, size and length factor into what they might be worth for resale. The clasp can add value as well.
Feel free to post photos of them if you would like an opinion. Use natural light if possible, or artifical light (but no flash), against a white background (like paper towel) and include some close ups of some of the pearls including any flaws, and the clasp.
How long is the strand? What size in millimeters? What is the clasp like; any marks on it indicating the metal?
I dug up some links to Sakata pearls information that may help you:
1. Completed listings on eBay:

Inherited pearls, have certification but cant find anything about them
hello, I am not sure this is the right forum, so please forgive me if I should put this somewhere else! My grandfather brought pearls from Japan in the 40's (unsure about the date). They are unknotted, with original box, original cardboard box as wellm and certificate. I am posting pics, but...

Anyone ever heard of Sakata Pearls in Ginza Tokyo?
I saw some pearls in an antique store and the box said Sakata cultured pearls, Ginza, Tokyo and then something in Japanese. Has anyone heard og this manufacturer?
