Suzaku-dono: Have you seen my website? (See my sig. below). You might find some information useful to you. Hai, I have seen and used your site quite often and it has been a great amount of help to me. Did you know that Suzaku was one of the 10th-century emperors of Japan, ruling during the rebellion of Taira no Masakado? really? that's cool! heh, I just chose the name of 'Suzaku' because its part of a Japanese myth, which stemed from a Chinese myth, about four animal gods, one being a red phoenix. In Japan, the phoenix is called 'Suzaku' and in China it's 'Hou-oh' (the spelling might be off on that one, but it looks right... )

Cool, glad to hear it!! Actually, in Japanese the phoenix is hôô; in Chinese it's fenghuang (feng4 huang2) -- or sometimes just feng. "Suzaku" is a different bird, but tends to get translated "phoenix" also as we suffer a dearth of cool, mythical birds in English. Either way, hôô (or houou) and suzaku are imperial creatures, and common folk like us wouldn't normally have such for names. Dang it. Tony
