Lau
劉 is the name Lau in Chinese (Mandarin).
Liu Bei
劉備 is the name Liu Bei (161-223AD), warlord at the end of the Han dynasty and founder of the Han kingdom of Shu.
In Japanese, this can be the name Ryuubi or Ryūbi. Most Japanese will be familiar with the Chinese historical figure, Lui Bei.
Reuben
劉本 is the name Reuben in Chinese (Mandarin).
NOT APPROPRIATE FOR
CUSTOM CALLIGRAPHY
Rogue
In Chinese, this means rogue, hoodlum, hooligan, gangster, or a person engaged in immoral behavior.
In Japanese, this is a title for a refugee (though so rarely used and obscure that many Japanese will not recognize this word).
Please don't order this, it's only here for reference only. 流氓 is not appropriate for custom calligraphy!
Ryukyu
琉球 refers to the Ryukyu (Ryūkyū) Islands which include Okinawa and are located between Japan and Taiwan.
This can also refer to the Ryukyu kingdom of old Okinawa. Ryukyu is also used in martial arts terms for styles with origins in Okinawa.
Top Quality / First Class
一流 is the Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja for top quality, front ranking, first-class, top grade, foremost, top-notch, or unique.
Darius
大流士 is the name Darius in Chinese (Mandarin).
Lewis
劉易斯 is the name Lewis in Chinese (Mandarin).
Shito-Ryu
糸東流 is the title for Shito-Ryu.
Note that while this title can be pronounced in Chinese, it only makes complete sense in Japanese.
Lucrecia
琉璃希婭 is the transliteration to Mandarin Chinese for the Latin / Spanish name Lucrecia.
Rose Flowers Given, Frangrance Remains on Hands of Giver
This proverb has been translated several ways:
1. Roses given, fragrance in hand.
2. You present others roses, fragrance remains.
3. The fragrance of the rose always remains on the hand of those that bestow them.
4. A little bit of fragrance always clings to the hands which give the flowers
However, this literally translates as, "Give someone rose flowers, [your] hands keep [the] remaining fragrance".
Shito-Ryu Ki-Me-Kan Karate-Do
This is the title for Shito-Ryu Ki-Me-Kan Karate-Do.
A school of Karate.
Note that while this title can be pronounced in Chinese, it only makes complete sense in Japanese.
The More We Sweat in Training, The Less We Bleed in Battle
There is more than one way to translate this ancient Chinese military proverb. Here are a few interpretations:
A drop of sweat spent in a drill is a drop of blood saved in war.
More practice will give one a better chance of success in real situation.
The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in battle.
I heard this many times when I was a U.S. Marine but I had no idea at the time that it was actually an old Chinese proverb.
