I want this as a tattoo but I want to know what it means. Why type of tree is it? What do the symbols translate into?
The kanji / symbol (character of Chinese origin, also used in Japan) is the kanji for 'crane' (the bird, not the construction site vehicle!!)
I believe you're beautiful I additionally consider self aware however I seem how I seem so simply be you and do not begin dressed in a lot of make up given that that's what I have performed and now i are not able to go away the apartment with out dressed in alot given that I believe I seem even uglier. Stay how you're
?The other answers already have some great info! I live in Japan too so let me try to answer your Q. the best I can from what I know. This image is used for Japanese Congratulations- omedetou おめでとう (omedetai) and good fortune, prosperity and good luck as well. It has a GOOD meaning. When I was married to my hubby here in Japan, some of our wedding gifts were wrapped in Japanese cloth with this image. The bird is a crane, as everyone already said and is the symbol of longevity, long continuance. The kanji is for the word crane (bird) - tsuru 鶴 as also mentioned, in Japanese. The tree is a Pine (tree), or matsu 松. (It's part of my last name!) The center circle is the sun, often seen in such scenes. This design can be found on some wedding kimono in Japan as well as Japanese screens, decorative plates (I have one) and dishes. It's rather beautiful and I think it would be a gorgeous tattoo! Hope this helps!? EDIT: The small red symbol under the big black kanji is just the hanko- Japanese stamp of perhaps the artist. Not really part of the design.
