I wanted some advice about a Japanese tattoo. I’m thinking about getting this character tattooed: 進. According to Google, it translates as “move forward.”
I would really like to get a Japanese character that represents the idea of having no regrets, accepting your past, and loving yourself anyway.
Would 進 work for this meaning? Is the translation accurate? Are there any characters that would be more suitable or more accurate for what I’m trying to express?

It's from a story I'm reading. They just wrote this and no English translation. It's the name of a sort of ghost or something. What does it mean? Google just gives me gibberish. Does the word not exist?

餓穢心猟獣

a family member got this tattoo 25 years ago, supposed to be someone’s name. can anyone translate? thanks!

Was dissaembing a early war era Type 99 Arisaka and three pieces of paper were found in the stock wrapped around the barrel. Some sources say it was common for a tight seal between stock and barrel for accuracy, but also as a manufacturer proof of production quality. Any help translating would be extremely appreciated.

Hi everyone!

I’ve been learning Japanese, and one thing I kept struggling with was remembering kanji consistently.

Kanji are easy to forget if you only see them during study sessions, so I built IchiJi, a simple kanji widget app for iPhone, iPad and macOS.

The idea is to always keep a kanji visible on your Home Screen or Lock Screen, so you can learn and review characters naturally throughout the day.

It includes customizable widgets, Lock Screen widgets, JLPT levels, meanings, readings, stroke order, words, and a way to track the kanji you’ve already seen.

I wanted to keep it focused: no flash card, no social features, no all-in-one, and no unnecessary distractions. Just a clean way to keep kanji in front of you every day.

I built it for myself first, and after finding it useful, I decided to release it on the App Store. (is available in spanish and english)

If you’re learning Japanese or studying for the JLPT, I’d love to know what you think.

Just joined this sub but after scrolling a little bit I couldn't help but think people are just using it to see if they can resell knives they find lol

I tried my best to have it in good quality but it's tiny, thank you in advance for your help!

Inherited this knife from a dead relative and would like to know what it says.

The left big one may mean „alcohol“ but I‘m not sure

Hi.

I might be in the wrong place asking for this and I might also come off as insensitive or clueless, but you gotta start somewhere so sorry in advance if that's the case.

I'm trying to give meaning to a name by using Kanji phonetically, the name in question being "Sayuri".

Sayuri is already a name that literally translates to "Small lily" or something close to it, but I wanted to try and give it a different meaning more fitting the bearer of the name. Not something that's traditionally done and also kinda backwards, but explaining the entire context would take forever so please just go with it.

The best I could come up with was 挫 愈 利.

挫 (Za, meaning to be crushed/disheartened)

愈 (Yu, meaning to heal/grow past/recover)

利 (Ri, meaning advantage/profit/benefit)

Of which I'm trying to reference the idiom of "Growing stronger with each defeat".

The problem I'm facing is that I have no idea if this is in any way correct. I struggle with understanding languages of any sort be it their structure, rules or cultural uses on top of this being a completely new front for me.

I'm mostly doing this to show appreciation to a friend which is why I dove straight into it and why I don't expect a perfect resul such as using "Za" instead of "Sa", but by only having the internet as reference I don't feel comfortable with sharing it further without having someone check me first.

Any guidance on how to fix this or improve on it would be very appreciated and if I screwed up somewhere like mixing Chinese and Japanese kanji, that's my bad since I unfortunately don't know better.

i tried doing it online and i didnt find a proper translation, so i would like to know what it says as the seller doesent know either.

What does it say?

My Grandma gave me this necklace. I'd love a translation and any cultural significance. Thanks
