14 Valentines, post #1 - kanji icons

Feb 02, 2007 02:21

This is my first contribution to the 14valentines project. Today's featured cause is Women in Academics.

102 Kanji icons

Most of the original images come from www.tribalshapes.com, as do most of the translations. Please speak up if you spot an egregious error.

ETA: staranis has provided some additional information on a few of the Kanji symbols, so I have amended the labelling of the icons based on images 1, 15 and 74.

Comments are nice - credit is only necessary for the icons with text - the textless ones may be used as bases.

admiration and devotion (ETA "Shinpuku" means "to follow someone's orders with respect" (as in a master/servant relationship). It's a very submissive word.)
