jbradfor Posted October 12, 2010 at 06:04 PM Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 at 06:04 PM Be a lot easier if you didn't hold it up to the mirror to take the picture so all writing is mirror-image. But I know, what's the challenge in that? I think the pink one is 長壽健康 -- long and healthy life Tan one less certain -- ?滿家?. I'm thinking it's Japanese, not Chinese? Help?

Gleaves Posted October 12, 2010 at 06:41 PM Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 at 06:41 PM Maybe 円滿家庭? As in "Yen plentiful family?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted October 12, 2010 at 06:51 PM Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 at 06:51 PM Yeah, that looks good to me. But how about "household filled with yen (wealth/money)" as a translation instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted October 13, 2010 at 03:58 AM Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 at 03:58 AM The characters are Japanese 新字体. 円満 means something like "fulfilled" or "without complaints" (I guess 円満家庭 is basically "happy family"). You've got the meaning of the rest of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
