yash427 Posted January 14, 2009 at 07:22 AM Author Report 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?
