No, that is not what I am saying. I know for sure it is not a regular word but in case it is a person's name, then one can always create new names. The name possibilities are infinite.

I hate to speak in pure speculation but if it is a name, then it is a pretty heavy-sounding one. I am suspecting a monk's name and whether or not that monk is Japanese, I have absolutely no idea. China uses kanji and so did Korea 50 years ago.


Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.
