FAQ

1. What is Kanji (Katakana, Hiragana)?
  • Kanji: A Japanese system of writing based on borrowed or modified Chinese characters.
  • Katakana:  A relatively angular kana used for writing foreign words or official documents, such as telegrams.
  • Hiragana: A cursive kana used for polite, informal, or casual writing.
2. Why do I need to select a type of text alignment when I place my order?
The text you submit to us will be prepared in either horizontal or vertical alignment. This is because Japanese is traditionally written vertically starting in the upper-right-hand corner, and also written horizontally, from left to right. 
3. When will I get the image that I ordered?
It usually takes 3-5 days (excluding Saturdays & Sundays, and holidays) for us to process an order.
4. Am I supposed to get the image that I ordered in mail?
No, we deliver it to you as an email attachement in a zipped file.
5. How do you render my name into Japanese?
We use neither translation software, nor any other kinds of automatic translation systems for rendering your name in Japanese. The reason is simple. In most cases, the translation software or any kinds of automatic translation result in producing inappropriate Japanese translations of your name. Since Kanji is a group of ideograms representing ideas and concepts, it is very important for you to pick Kanji symbols that are suited for your English names not only phonetically but also ideographycally.
6. Do you translate a word or short phrase?
Yes, we do. Generally speaking, most of translators and translation agencies do not take this type of small job. To meet the needs of unique individuals and small business owners is our priority.
7. What should we know about the Japanese writing system? Isn’t that complicated to understand?
At this moment, just know that there are mainly three kinds of forms in the Japanese writing system; Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. That’s all about it. The combination of all of these three forms are generally used in Japanese writing.
8. What sort of idea is having English name translated into Japanese symbols?
Both Hiragana and Katakana are phonetic scripts. Except for those who are serious learners of the Japanese language, all you need to know is that foreign names are generally rendered in Katakana. But this doesn’t necessarily mean that you, as a non-Japanese individual, can’t have your name translated into Kanji for your tattoo designs or to satisfy your curiosity, or just for fun! In fact, the idea of having tattos in Japanese Kanji has been supported by so many people not only in USA and European countries but also in other countries. It IS completely okay for you to have your name translated into Kanji symbols.
9. Is it true  that each Kanji character has one or more particular meaning?
Yes, each Kanji character has one or more particular meaning with more than two readings, that is, “kun-yomi/reading” and “on-yomi/reading.” To master the Japanese writing system, especially Kanji symbols, memorizing both kun-reading and on-reading can be the biggest stumbling block for not only non-native speakers of Japanese but also Japanese K-12 school kids. But don’t worry. since this web site is not intended to teach you how to read and write Japanese perfectly, we are not going to go into detail about it. Actually, it is not really necessary for you to memorize all the complex Japanese writing system. We’ll get you perfect Japanese translation of your name.
10. What can you “visualize” your name in Japanese Kanji symbols?
Japanese Kanji is a set of ideographic alphabets which represents concepts and ideas, and which is probably the most fun but challenging part of learning the Japanese writing system. Therefore, finding appropriate Kanji characters and combinations of one or more Kanji characters suited for your name, personality, preference, goals, and whatever, would be the most difficult task for non-Japanese people to get around. Of course, translation software can NOT adequately do this job. But, again, don’t worry. Just a glance at a particular kanji symbol, we can instinctively understand the essential meaning of it, and are able to find several combinations of your name translated into Japanese Kanji symbols. That is why we offer this service to curious and unique people from all over the world!
