The title of this post is : This is the meaning of difficult. I am trying to typographically design Mina’s tshirt design with Japanese Kanji. Since I only know basic kanji, its hard to figure out the nuances of the Kanji. All I see are radicals and the dictionary definition. I am a long way from designing in Japanese but I will give it my best effort. It is pretty interesting though, to work like this. I am out of my element yet the challenge is interesting.

Sorry for not posting lately. I will post my summer vacation pics and videos soon. But first, I am going to get my Japanese drivers license and then a Japanese motorcycle license. My ultimate goal is to get a motocycle in Japan. I will get my license translated and then proceed with schedule a driving test from there I will have te ability to drive a car and a 50cc motorbike. I will then proceed to take classes for the mid sized motorcycle license. I am excited at the posibility to rent a car in Japan an go camping whenever I want or go to Costco and buy a 50kg barrel of pickles.
Besides this update, I have been working on my Japanese again and with Mina’s help, I have made some progress. I plan on starting to silk screen my designs on tshirts in the next weeks. I have narrowed my choice down to three silk screen shops but first I will try and see if I can find affordable silk screening materials so I can print th myself. I have been networking a lot in Tokyo and hopefully all the effort with produce fruit in terms of design work an hopefully a new job. All I really need is to get my Japanes ability up. I know I have been saying this for a long time but I am working on it slowly but surely.
