Kanji in World




Kanji 極悪非道
Pronunciation Gokuaku Hido
Takako's Comment This mean is " Atrocious". Generally, All of Japanese people is recognise as " Atrocious and no morals oneself. This word is constructing in two words, one is Gokuaku[ Atrocious ] the other Hido[ no morals oneself ]. Therefore, Japanese people apply this word to Indiscriminate murder, Terrorism or Terrorist, and Yakuza etc.

Why this word is choosen? Because, I found out this word printed on T-shirt when I went to London last summer. And a very lovely young male wore that one !!! I was very surprised at that time. He inform to some many peoples as much as " I 'm a dangerous person !"

I think that Kanji is more and more popular to some arts in UK and Europe. But this word had better not use.


Kanji 極 楽
Pronunciation Gokuraku
Takako's Comment This mean is "Ultimate comfort or Heaven" This word is Buddhism term.

Sometime I find out this word from tattooed body in London, UK and Europe. And that man is like criminal. Is he tired? He want to go to heaven? I do not know his circumstances, but that usage is no good.

Usually, Japnanese people use this word just before die. They die while saying " I want to go to Gokuraku!!"

In fact, it may be Jesus Christ who tattooed man was look like criminal.
