Mitt Japan

 

 

Kejserligt sommarpalats utanför Kyoto

 

These two Chinese characters are picked up from some thousands just to suit my name. Japanese language does not have a combination of these characters.
  The upper character is pronounced NE. It means “Birds singing in the forests” or “The sound of a stream running in the hills” or the sound of harp.
  The lower character is pronounced LLY or LI. It means a pear. There was a beautiful princess in China in 8th century. The king described her saying “You are as beautiful as pear blossoms”. So not only pear blossoms but also a pear itself is a symbol associated with beauty.
