Do you realize how hard it would be to even see that? Not to mention the amount that can't be seen because of her hair.

I am going to make a guess and say it might be Buddhist mantras like from the horror story Hoichi the Earless, but that is only because of the imagry, and not what it actually says.

That's a creepy face...:smokingbear:

I can't see any kana in that face either, MMM... I'm guessing what it says still makes sense without it? I know kana is not always needed.. Seen it on pictures of shrines etc.. but as a begginer Japanese learner it feels so weird looking at long streams of kanji like that with no kana to add definition or context. Maybe thats just me?

Either way, I lol'd when I saw OP's pic, and the one you posted, MMM - It reminded me of this:

If you are unfamilliar with this face, click here for the news story.

Traditional Buddhist mantras would not likely be easily understood by a non-monk who hadn't studied them.

SHAD0W 10-20-2009 09:46 PM

I know less than 500 kanji so.. ofcourse I wouldn't easily understand.. Monk or not lol

Edit: after posting this I thought about how different my life could be if I was a monk.. No way! I'm too fond of my posessions and my girlfriend lol Can't imagine a life of celibacy!

Actually the majority of Buddhist monks in Japan are married.
