somethingfunny Posted August 9, 2018 at 07:17 AM Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 at 07:17 AM Beats me. Although the first character looks like 蛇. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted August 9, 2018 at 08:52 AM Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 at 08:52 AM And I think the second is 士 rather than 土 (note the lengths of the lines). No idea though. Parts of it could read as some list of virtues (power, heroism, faith, endurance), but where the snake comes in I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted August 9, 2018 at 09:15 AM Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 at 09:15 AM Half wondered if it's some cod phonetics, Cicely Ingells Renshaw or something. Otherwise struggling to make sense, doesn't even look like a Japanese name but then I'm no expert there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted August 9, 2018 at 09:23 AM Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 at 09:23 AM Not a bad suggestion. We're basically reading tea-leaves unless the OP can give us some more info on what it might be meant to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Publius Posted August 9, 2018 at 10:22 AM Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 at 10:22 AM Looks like gibberish. Definitely not a Chinese proverb. Makes more sense in Japanese, though not much either. The first character is 蛇 (hebi/ja, 'snake, serpent'). The second not sure whether it's 士 (shi/samurai, 'man, warrior, samurai') or 土 (tsuchi/do/to, 'earth, soil, ground') 力 (chikara/riki/ryoku) means 'strength, power, might'. Sumo wrestlers are called 力士 (rikishi) in Japanese. 英信 could be a Japanese given name, pronounced Eishin or Hidenobu or Fusanobu. 忍獣 apparently is a 獣 (jū/kemono, 'beast, animal, monster', c.f. kaiju) who practices 忍術 (ninjutsu, 'stealth and combat techniques', c.f. ninja). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted August 9, 2018 at 03:36 PM Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 at 03:36 PM Makes sense that it is Japanese especially as the OP refers to them as kanji. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
