Need a Kanji Translated? Just ask!

Please do not double post.

JIMO, I have some doubt that it has a meaning. (I mean, is it written by the one who actually knew what they wrote?)
 
My humblest of apologies, it won't happen again. Thank you for your reply.
 
Hello there.
I've been looking everywhere for a site that might include a forum with people who are fluid in Japanese. Never guessed I'd find a thread dedicated to it here haha.

So, to the point, I'm getting a tattoo soon. And with my deep admiration for Japan and it's culture as a whole, I'm planning on getting my personal-life-philosophy written in Kanji. But, you know, Google Translate won't do the trick seeing as this will be a permanent mark on my body.

Anyway, I'm learning to speak it, but can't write it for dung. Can I have someone confirm/correct this translation for me? It'd be MUCH appreciated and a huge help for me.

The English
No person is born pure
No person is born evil
No person is born a God
All people are simply born

The Google Translation
何人も、純粋に生まれていない
何人も、悪に生まれていない
何人も、神に生まれていない
すべての人は単純に生まれて

I want it written as closely to the English text as possible, and if at all possible, with more concise Kanji character, as I'm sure there are some. And possibly even some characters with more....I think the word would be impact for the nouns; i.e. pure, evil, a God

Thank you so much and I'm hoping this doesn't prove too much to ask. I look forward to your help.
 
Hello, I'm trying to make some wood burns in my Bokken.
I was wondering what 風の約束 would mean.
So far, of what I understand, it means "Wind's Promise".

Would this be correct?

"Wind's Promise" or "Promise of the Wind". Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

That's what it translates to; what it means, I haven't a clue.

Just to keep you from feeling so lonesome....

I can see it just fine. What I can't do is read it.

I hate for anybody to make a post and end up wondering if their own is the only screen in the world it showed up on.

Yeah, it's simply because that's illegible. I have some doubt that even the writer might not be able to read it, though. (I mean, they actually knew what they wrote?)
 
Its on a karate uniform I bought. maybe ill just put a patch over it

Where did you buy it from? From a shop or dojo or something?
 
I bought it used. It was a great price on a uniform made in okinawa

It appears to be three kanji. The second and third aren't so hard to recognize: 尊譲

Google searches bring up a blog belonging to a martial arts gym, some indication it may be the name of a style (or sub-style) of some branch of the martial arts....and very little else on Japanese pages. The character combination yields quite a few Chinese results, but I know nothing about Chinese.

The problem is the first and seemingly simplest kanji, which is almost certainly 入. A search in the three character combination was fruitless and I'm damned if I can even guess at its relation to the other two.
 
Hmm, I don't think the radical of the third kanji is gonben 言. In the kanji in the picture, after the third horizontal line was drawn, the brush went up to it and then went down across the line. This stroke order is for 古 or something like that.

 
What could it be, then? I'm stumped.
 
Yeah, I, either, can't make out what those are, and that's why I wrote "I have some doubt" in my previous post. (I agree that the first one would be 入, though.)
