The Barbarian is a Canadian model. The serial number is probably for a Taiwan manufactured frame, not Kawamura or Giant. Don't try to use the TMar serial number decoding for 1990s Nishikis.
[MENTION=140028]Doohickie[/MENTION] is probably correct with 1990. This is an elevated stay style of frame, popularized by Richard Cunningham designs for Nishiki in the USA, circa 1989.
