For professional English Language translations of Japanese Kanji for art, tattoo designs or just to have a name translated into this beautiful style. Japanese Symbols, otherwise known as Kanji symbols or characters, originated in China thousands of years ago. Although the Japanese language has fewer sounds than most other languages, it does have an extremely complex system of writing. Lacking their own script, the Japanese took over the ideograms, or kanji (Japanese Symbols), as a response to the Korean and Chinese monks carrying Buddhism to Japan between the fourth to the seventh centuries.

At first used strictly in classical Chinese texts, the kanji were later adapted to Japanese as well. After the second world war, Japan's postwar Ministry of Education chose 1,850 kanji from the more than 50,000 available, for general use. This list has been revised several times since, and has hardly had the effect of promoting the elimination of kanji altogether. The average college graduate still needs over 3,000 characters just to read the newspaper!
