What do these Japanese kanji characters mean in Big Brother 18 room?

in #tv8 years ago

I've been watching this season and they call this the Tokyo room, but wondering if any steemit members can tell what they mean.

Here is the other angle showing the opposite wall with some more writing on it.

This pic is when they toured that house and said the characters above the door are Japanese for telephone, and I found it in Google translate テレフォン telephone. But most of the characters look like Chinese kanji which they use mixed in with their basic character sets which I learned about from some exchange students back in the day when I was in university.

I'm watching the live feeds sometimes, and I keep coming back to wondering what there characters mean. Paul who has coined "friendship" and "P-issed" was joking at one point that they could be some totally messed up meanings that they will have to guess at the end of the show. I think that's doubtful, but it would be fun to know if someone who can read them would share.

Thanks in advance for helping me stop thinking about this silly thing over and over for no reason. But your brain gets stuck on things sometimes, and mine is stuck on figuring out what these characters mean.

Sort:  

倖 = happiness; luck
佳 = excellent; beautiful; good; pleasing; skilled
和 = harmony; Japanese style; peace; soften; Japan
蛍 = lightning-bug; firefly
Can see the bottom of this one but I'm guessing it's this one.
健 = healthy; health; strength; persistence
sorry the other words are cutt off or not clear enough to read.

Sorry, cannot help. although I understand Japanese use a lot of Chinese characters, by itself the character in Japanese may have different meaning from the Chinese character. 佳 - this Character in Chinese generally means good.

tokyodude is correct!! Thank you for your great contents. Very interesting on reading your articles. I am post about Japan in 3 language (in english,Japanese,Korean) to boost up Japanese steemit community in Tokyo. If you have any questions about Japan, Please let me know. I do my best to response with steemian especially. Good Luck with Steem. @steemitjp you can get inspiration with posting Regards David.

倖:思いもよらなかった幸運。Luck not to have expected
佳:優れて良い。めでたい。美しい。Excellent and good. Well done. it's beautiful.
和:これは多くの意味があります...調和、平和、均衡、足し算の結果等。This has many implications ... harmony, peace, equilibrium, results of addition etc.
蛍:firefly
健:すこやか。からだを高く伸ばして元気がよいさま。元気があふれて力が強いさま。Healthy. It is healthy that the body is stretched out high. Mama is strong with strong energy.

In addition to those listed here, even more consideration is put in Kanji if consideration of the formation of that kanji - culture, historical meaning etc etc. We hope for your reference.
