Do you speak (or read) Japanese?

If so, could you help me figure out what this means?



Thank You!

Thats Chinese by the way possibly Hong Kong as its not identical to the Mandarin characters
or it may be from a time before China was uniformed in written language


it says

4 characters top to bottom on left say "jiao tong an quan" and mean - traffic safety

4 characters top to bottom in middle are " Tong Xing shou xing and mean - watch for signals

3 characters on the left are probably a name Jing lian ? last one we do not know, but its a name

the 6 characters in red indicate its a stamp or registered mark the 1st 2 we know shou hu = protect

the other 4 we are not sure about

 

Steve that is impressive. When you say we do you mean you and your children

 

My friend is Japanese.... I'll ask her. If it's not Japanese, every other place is represented where I work as well. Someone will know.

 

Not this time its to late for the lads
so I had to wake my wife up

LOL

 

Lmao!

It’s just a good luck charm Shinto style for traffic safety.

 

That about sums it up

 

I hope you didn't get it tattooed somewhere thinking it was a totally deep life saying.... it happened to my friend one time!

 

Lol

No, I lived in Japan for 4 years. It is actually Japanese. The character set between Japanese and "Chinese" are nearly identical with different translations which is why Steve thought it was "Chinese."
