    Can anyone read and translate Japanese?

    Wife went to Japan a decade ago and picked up some paper block prints in the Kyoto area. There is some writing on one that we would like to know what it says.

    Thanks

    The three on the right: "pinetree crane garden". Crane as is the bird with long neck.

    The longer set of characters on the left might actually be Chinese not Japanese. I was told by someone Japanese who glanced for half a second, said "huh?" and had to guess what some characters meant.

    Wait, Benny, did you search Benny Plofane this morning to find this, albeit hilarious, 5 year old thread?

    The writing on the left reads, from top to bottom:

    Shin
    Ju
    Ku
    Mother
    Copulater

    with the bottom two a signature of sorts:

    Angry
    Sea Snail

    and the ones on the right read out:

    You
    Are
    Drown

    In zoology, a copulator is a male animal who introduces sperm into the female's body, especially directly into her reproductive tract. This is an aspect of mating.
