Hello, I'm new to this forum. I am looking to find out how to write my family name in Kanji.
Let me explain why I want to do this and the background so you understand the reason behind this and why I am coming here to find out how to do this. I am half Japanese, half Caucasian. My dad is full blooded Japanese, but was born in the United States. So he does not know how to write any Kanji, nor does he speak Japanese. He can understand a little bit since it is my Grandmother's native tongue.
My family is of Samurai descent. However, back in the 1960's they had to sell our family Samurai sword for money since they were facing hard times.
This is the part that is going to make some of you cringe, since I've read some of the other posts on this forum... I would like to get a tattoo of a Samurai Warrior with my family name in Kanji incorporated in it. I am very proud of my Japanese heritage. I think it is much more appropriate to put my Japanese family name in Kanji rather than in English.
If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated. My family name is Yoshida.
Thanks in advance.
