Thanks for the japanese bronze translation. I think it may be a "mark" (like jun-gin, pure silver) rather than a signature. I googled what you gave me and found these on a Japanese Antique Glossary:

Dai-mei
A sword smith student signing the name of his teacher onto a blade forged by the student. A not uncommon (or unethical) practice in old Japan. (Samurai turned to other forms of metal work when samurai were banned.)

Sentoku (unique japanese bronze mix)
Alloy of copper, tin and zinc. Usually yellow or dark brown in color (which would account for the color of the vase.

Hey, thanks for all your help with my kanji... sorry for flailing around!

Salut j'aurais souhaiter avoir une traduction

Hi Yugknup... I can see that you get this a lot but I was hoping I could have a minute of your time.

I'm researching a Japanese Tattoo (I'm 1/2 Japanese "Nisei") but I was never really taught any Japanese by my father. Could you help me?

I'm looking to translate these phrases into their Japanese Kanji counterparts:

"Inner Strength" -as in strength from within. Not physical strength.

"Inner Peace" -to mean calm and peaceful being.

"Determined" -as in having self discipline and fortitude.

"Never gives up" -as in the continuous and never-ending fight/struggle in life.

"Kawakami" -my last name (surname).

If you could help me with these I would be very grateful! Let me know you ever need a translation into Portuguese/Spanish/Italian. I'm fluent in these.
