Questions about Peace in Japanese
How do you write Peace in Japanese?
Peace is written ピース in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Peace would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag. Depending on the origin of the name, it can also be written ペイス (spelled out).
What are the best kanji for Peace?
Our top pick is 日寿 (Hisu). 日 means “sun” and 寿 means “long life”. Other good options are 陽寿 (Hisu) and 緋寿 (Hisu).
Is 日寿 a real Japanese name?
Partly. The characters 日寿 appear in Japanese names, but with the reading Hinata rather than Hisu. As a spelling of Peace, it is a creative kanji choice (ateji): Japanese readers will see the meaning of each character.
How many strokes is 日寿?
日寿 has 11 strokes in total (日: 4, 寿: 7). That is quite simple to write by hand, even for beginners.
Can I use 日寿 as a tattoo?
Each character in 日寿 has a positive meaning, so it is a reasonable choice. Keep in mind that Japanese people will read it as the meaning of the characters, not instantly as “Peace”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (ピース) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
