But be careful because when kanji is written by itself people will most probably read it as a word and not as a name.

These designs correctly translate both aspects of the name and combine the beauty and range of kanji with the correctness of a standard translation. We had Master Takase create several such designs for us which we are very excited about. Scroll down to see these designs - and remember you can immediately access every design you order.
