a friend and I ocasionaly joke about some of the motos we want to put on our sashimono or banners for use at wars...
I have started a small notebook of some of the motos I liked... bear in mind these are mostly intended for thier comic value, but I know MANY of you also have some good serious banners...
some of the other threads I have read mention sashimono motos that got me thinking that it would be a good idea to move my project to the forums.
I might as well start off with listing MOST of the ones I have writen in my notebook so far...
bear in mind that since I do not speak japanese and have even less knowledge of kanji these are untranslated for the time being, but eventualy I want to translate them all and make a collection of banners and sashimono.
1: this space for rent
2: got rice
3: see rock city (I used to live in chattanooga, though I have seen barns with "see rock city" in the mid-west)
4: (in chief an anulet, or) one ring rule all (bear in mind the meridian oath of fealty is taken from tolken)
5: will work for sake
6: you carry a table to battle (I truely dispise fighting with a shield... a big part of why I have yet to authorize despite fighting on and off unofficialy for 10 years now)
the one I am not sure if there is even a way to translate it is "eat at joes" due to the use of a western name. I have been contemplating using jo as in the short staff as it would be sufficient for someone who can translate the kanji to recognise the use of the sound, but I am not sure who well this would work.
I kindda like nissans sashimono though... not having seen it or met him, I have seen enough reference to it here I am tempted to ask permission to parody it in some way (so as not to be wearing the same sashimono on the field should we end up at the samw war some day)
I would love to hear other ideas, though don't be suprised when I ask permission to use an idea I like<G>
I do also want to see the serious motos not just ones used for comedic value...
