My Name in Japanese, 1987

I was fascinated by Japan as a teenager. Everyone seemed to think they’d buy everything up and kick everyone’s ass. So I played around with learning the Katakana and Hiragana script. I’ve forgotten it all, but this looks like it could be a sign on the Ginza to me. The type is not a font, but drawing with the native DPaint II tools. Very nice tools to draw to a grid. I like it better than the way PhotoShop does grids, though PShop does have guides, which I would have loved on the Amiga.

The colors are even Japanese – garish, but pretty.

I still love Japanese things, though I’m a bit more moderate about it.

Also, my Amiga Pictures 1986-1991 got linked to by Matt Haughey, so now some people are looking at my stuff and bookmarking it in del.icio.us.

That’s kinda cool.

I wanted to, as a batch, change the Creative Commons licenses for the set. Is that possible? I didn’t see it in Organizr.

Hi Tanya – probably you need a translation site for that. Try a search for Japanese Translations.

Hi Analyn—
I think you can use the tutorials here and break up your name like this:

A – NA – RI – N.

Good luck!

Sorry Erika, I don’t know. I bet there are other sites where you can look that up. I’m not an expert on Japanese, unfortunately.
