It is just the normal style for newspapers and many magazines.

Ahh, ok. Thank you very much :). I guess I should start reading things other than manga, then I would know these things...:o

thanks to masaegu for translating the letter for me,
so am i right in saying the letter was from a younger boy in Japan to his older brother already at the war?
and the drawing was by someone else entirely?

No, the sender and the recepient have different family names. Yamada and Kuraishi, respectively. It was just customary for people to address each other as brothers and sisters back then. Even now it is still practiced by some people.

You are right about the drawing.

I see,well thank you again for your time,i won't waste anymore of it.
If i ever need help again i know where to come.

Hi guys,

I recently joined my local 武神館. At the opening of each class they have an opening ceremony which they read out the words

chi haya furu, kami-no oshie-wa tokoshie-ni tadashii ki, kokoro o miomamoru ran / shikin haramitsu daikomyo

I've found a few different translations online, but I'm wondering what this sentence would look like in kanji And kana.

Im not sure where to start so any help would be awesome!

Hiya! I just have one grammar question today:Is this right?

ミルク をのむでつよくになる

By drinking milk, I become strong?

Help is much apreciated :pinkbow:

Edit: Love the avatar Shadow =p

千早振る、神の教えは永久に
正しき心身を護るらむ
シキンハラミツ大光明

EDIT: Found the kanji for the part I wrote in katakana. It is 「詞韻波羅密」.

That is quite nice! I don't understand the らむ in line 2, though (and if that's a typo and you meant らん as in the romaji above, I don't understand the らん, either!).

I used the original classical "spelling". Using 「ん」is more modern. Either one is correct.

～～らむ　＝　～～らん = would be doing ~~
