fukuoka Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Personal names are notoriously difficult even for native speakers. Even common ones sometimes have more than one way to be read. This kanji 詮 when used in a name can be read thusly: Akira Satoshi Aki Sato Toshi Tomo Nori However, the latter 5 appear to be readings when used with another kanji. So either of the first two is most likely (never definitive without more info, though). The family name appears to be, as written above, Urushiya or Urushidani.

Gensui Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 @ Fukuoka: Thanks a lot! Can you recommend any kanji lexicon for (Japanese) family names? Nelson and/or Hadamitzky lexica are not working well engough. And even my old kougo jiten doesn't help me a lot then it comes to names...

jshorter Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I see you really into this pronunciation game Kankoku Heigou Kinen Shou I am! I love to know everything about what I'm collecting. Pronunciation of European and Eastern Baltic/Russian decorations is not a problem, but when I get into decorations of Asian origin, I'm in trouble! Glad to have you all around to fill in the blanks!
