Japanese is rich in old idiomatic expressions consisting of four Kanji.
One Kanji often has two or more pronunciations.
I sometimes see the foreigner who is putting the tattoo by the image of the Internet. But, I occasionally find an error to them. In Japanese, there are a lot of words with the same pronunciation. Perhaps, I think that it is a cause of the mistake. Therefore, on this site, I am introducing the word not suitable to the tattoo, too.
Please understand this thing and look at my site.
Pronunciation: bannzai sannsyou
Meaning : The manners of Japan that shouts three times, at the word to which pleasure is expressed as a shout.
Example : He was sent off to cries of three times "Banzai!"
By the way, it is shouted in Japan in this way.
"Let's celebrate Mr. Sato's future!"
" Banzai! Banzai! Banzai! "
Pronunciation: cyousann boshi
Meaning : The idiomatic phrase that "the stupidity that were deceived in the difference to look at, and did not notice that the contents were the same" was expressed.
Example: This is truly "cyousann-boshi". Because....In spite of their beauty appearance, but she drinks like a fish! I was cheated completely by her.
Pronunciation: ekisya sannyuu
Meaning : Three kinds of people who intersect as friend and have profit. They are such people. Honest friend, Faithful friend, and Knowledgeable friend.
These three kinds of people are expressed in this idiom as "Ekisya".
In short, this phrase is such a meaning.
"As for what should have it as a friend, these kind of people might be good. Honest friend, Faithful friend, and Knowledgeable friend."
Pronunciation: ittou sannrai
Meaning : Meaning of worshiping three times whenever one is carved when image of buddhist is sculptured.
Pronunciation: moubo sannsenn
Meaning :It is teaching that the environment is important to the infantile education.
Pronunciation: mikka bouzu
Meaning : Idiom where it was expressed to get tired easily of things, and not to last long. Or, the idiom that shows such a person.
Example: "He is a person who doesn't follow long no matter what it does!!"
Pronunciation: mikka tennka
Meaning :"Mitsuhide Akechi" of General in ancient in Japan defeated "Nobunaga Oda" and He came into power. But, he was destroyed by "Hideyoshi Toyotomi" the only 13 days later.
This idiom arose from this famous, historical event.
"It was a very short period though seized power." This has such a meaning. This might be a little sarcastic idiom.
Example: Mr.Asou has fallen out of favor at once though he assumed the position of the Prime Minister of his wish. It is a matter of time that the Prime Minister changes into another person. His ambition will end in "mikka-tennka".

A right poster was issued immediately after he assumed the position of the Prime Minister. He is repeating the reading mistake of the Kanji many times by the answer of the Diet.
His eagerness is written in the poster.
However, his unpopularity is shown by the appearance of such a poster.
" I execute it without fail !!"
" First of all, I achieve the economic recovery !!!"
But.....The character erased by the cross is "Economic recovery".
Moreover, the character written in red is "Kanji".
"Study the Kanji before executing the economic recovery !!"
The approval rating of him only ten percent keeps falling now.
