kanji help

[aefibird]

Does anyone know of a website that will translate words/names into Japanese kanji?

 

I was looking on the internet for an embroidered black belt. However, several of the companies that I found will embroider belts, but they don't provide translations. I was looking to find somewhere that would translate my name and the name of my club into Japanese characters.

 

Hope someone can help!

 

Thanks!!

Try Tokaido or - for high quality but reasonably priced - Dragon Associated's Meijin-belts.

 

Both translate (and let you check out if the translation is correct) the text you need.

Tokaido http://www.tokaidojapan.com/

 

I recommend Meijin for the prices, Tokaido for Shotokan-classic status.

 

There's also Shureido, but it's more for Okinawan stylists: http://www.karatedo.co.jp/shureido/english/e_index.html

Looks like they embroider and translate, though I have never bought anything from them.

 

I am waiting for my instructor to contact Shureido cause I want the same thing -- straight from Okinawa!

The very reason I use Shureido's stuff. Well, the true reason is their quality. Incredibly good - and price's not that bad either.

If you can't find a place at a price you like, I can translate for you and send you an image of the kanji. Just drop me a note at

Here's a good site that will translate just about any language. It also will give you the kanji for the words it tranlates. After you look a word up go to the bottom of the page and you will find the kanji link.

 

Sorry, forgot to attach the link. Go to the site and scroll down to the language section.
