SilvaShado Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) My husband and I have made a display model for our club's LEGO Showcase in our local LEGO store. Before we put it in, we want to make sure we wrote the Kanji correctly. Here are two pictures, one taken with flash and one taken without flash. Can someone please confirm if it reads correctly? If anyone is interested, here's pictures of the whole display. Edited November 20, 2011 by SilvaShado Quote
Fallenangel Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Could you tell us what it's intended to read? Quote
nicoga3000 Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 I had a friend look over it. His response: "It says, "beautiful" and "dragon". I might be wrong (I don't practice writing kanji at all, too lazy) but the box at the bottom of the dragon kanji might have a straight bottom, not curved like it is in the photo. " Double check that, and you should be OK! Quote
President of Brick Town Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) According to Mandarin, the first character reads Beautiful. I maybe wrong though. Edit: 111th post! Edited November 23, 2011 by President of Brick Town Quote
WhiteFang Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 According to Mandarin, the first character reads Beautiful. I maybe wrong though. No, you are right. I can't recognise the second character though. Quote
SilvaShado Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 Could you tell us what it's intended to read? Sorry, I should have included that. It's supposed to read Beautiful Dragon. I had a friend look over it. His response: "It says, "beautiful" and "dragon". I might be wrong (I don't practice writing kanji at all, too lazy) but the box at the bottom of the dragon kanji might have a straight bottom, not curved like it is in the photo. " Double check that, and you should be OK! Thanks for the feedback! All of the Dragon Kanji fonts we looked at had a curved bottom. Reminds me of a trail, but I will look it up again. According to Mandarin, the first character reads Beautiful. I maybe wrong though. Thanks for responding. It seems to be right as other have responded similarly. No, you are right. I can't recognise the second character though. I'm guessing dragon isn't a very common word whereas beautiful is. I'm glad to know we got that one right for sure. :-) Quote
lisqr Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) No, you are right. I can't recognise the second character though. The second character is Japanese for dragon. They simplified some Chinese characters over time. Edited November 21, 2011 by lisqr Quote
