Guido Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Maybe some fancy way of writing 福長 or 福涱? Quote
Markus Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Hm, see two scenarios here: 1. The second character () is an uncommon one but which reads ju, homonymous for ju (寿, longevity), which often comes in combination with the first one and forming fukuju (福寿), "long life and happiness." In short, a word play with ju/ju. 2. "Different" way of writing (福聚), which is an abbreviation of fukujukai-muryô (福聚海無量), a Buddhist slogan that means "The fortune of the Kannon is vast and immeasureable like the ocean." Tending to #2 at the moment... 2 Quote
Stephen Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Posted April 3, 2016 Thank you all seems two would fit Quote
Markus Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Re-reading my post, I realized that the uncommon kanji doesn't show up in the first brackets of my point 1. So, its this one: http://glyphwiki.org/wiki/u276bf 1 Quote
