There are four ways to translate names to Japanese. This particular example is of Angela with the phonetic translation to hiragana in the upper right. The main kanji is tenshi which is Angel, the original meaning of Angela.

Name in Japanese is a completely custom work of art and you would be working directly with Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase on the translation, font, and layout. The result will be a unique work of art that suits your taste and style.

How It Works: You provide the name when the order is placed. Master Takase will then create hand-lettered samples of the translation and layout that are then emailed to you for your feedback. Based on your reply, changes to the design are made and we would continue in this manner until the work is just right. This normally takes two or three iterations and the entire process can be completed in as little as a few days.

The final artwork is on handmade Japanese paper that is suitable for framing.
