Although the kanji are wrong, I think what is trying to be said is along the lines of "happiness in life is a sign that you are loved."

I think the Japanese should be written:
生活の中に幸せ（がある事は）は
愛されているしるしなのだ。

Hope that answers your question

Thanks, Initalics! These words were on my notebook and I thought that they can mean nothing, so I wanted to check.

If this is Japanese,
"Yuri", boy's or girl's name (maybe for anime/comic characters).

The characters printed on the little drum, on the shirt and on the fan are all 祭 matsuri meaning "festival."

It's really hard to translate what the cat says - "わっしょい Wasshoi."
"Heave-ho!" is the closest, probably.
It is the common shout people make when they carry a mikoshi (portable Shinto shrine) at a Japanese festival.

Japanese postcrossers - please help

I need help finding a knitting patterns. I have a picture of the sweater I want to knit, but I don't know where to buy the pattern.
The picture is probably the cover of a magazine, or something. It has japanese writing on it (probably the name of the magazine), but I can't read japanese. I need someone to translate the text for me, or help me find a place to buy the patterns. I will certainly send something from Norway to the person that helps me.

The picture is attached.

Hi all.

I'm looking for a very specific Gotochi card. I don't collect Gotochi cards but I do collect squid cards. This card is a blue squid shaped card that says Toyama on it (I'm assuming that's the famous town of the firefly squids which I really want to see some day)
Does anyone know of anyone that can find this card for me? i will trade anything for it. So I'll do 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 or candy or whatever

Thank you

180 yen each.
When sending abroad, it costs:

*Written and stamped single card
220 yen - 1st zone
260 yen - 2nd zone
300 yen - 3rd zone

*Written/unwritten single card in an envelope
(if it's sent via ordinary air mail)
The same price as sending a written and stamped single card

(if it's sent via small packet)
120 yen - 1st zone
150 yen - 2nd zone
170 yen - 3rd zone

For checking "zone", please go to:
http://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/charge/list/index_en.html

(Turkey is included in 2nd zone, as well as North America, Middle East and Europe)

FYI, sending a single standard-size postcard to all over the world via air mail costs 70 yen.

Hope this helps
