Echizen Washi

I LOVE lines in kanji, Chinese characters. Also when you see kanji written by somone, you can somehow tell partly one's personality.

My first name is Ri-na, and last name is AO-KI. Each letter has kanji and the kanji for my first name was chosen carefully by my father, yellow flowers ( I don't know how you call in English ) in a countryside.  Rina is from my grandmother's Christian name, Katarina.

BUT when I show kanji for my name, Chinese friends laughed in most of the cases, because it is very similar to a name for Chinese dish using four kanji letters and AO and NA are a name for vegetables......

But I love my name.
