YuehanHao Posted January 13, 2009 at 11:55 PM Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 at 11:55 PM I don't know very much and probably shouldn't try to say anything, but I am guessing there is a chance that the string of characters could be referring to some type of bonsai. 约翰好 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yash427 Posted January 14, 2009 at 07:22 AM Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 at 07:22 AM thanks for your help so far... all ive been able to get out of these characters is 'bonsai, knife/sword, throat/neck'... the image that goes along with it is a watercolour painting of a sword cutting through what appears to be a bonsai tree. can anyone give me a direct translation? and does anyone have an idea of what the over-all message is?
