Hanji?

Japanese Kanji are derived from Chinese characters sometimes referred to as Hanji (Hanzi).

Seal Script mostly dates back to archaic Hanji (Hanzi) Han being the operative word.

私は虎を探しています誰が言いましたか？

Mine is a japanese idiom, not to be translated directly, but as you found it translates directly to "if you do not enter the tiger's den, you cannot catch the cub". Roughly equivalent to "no pain, no gain; nothing ventured, nothing gained; or you can't have success without hardship/struggle/suffering". That just seemed fitting with all of @Kevin's whining about his hurt finger.

I thought you were just commenting that the bottom right character was precious.

expensive / noble / precious / (honorific) your

 

[ripjack13]

expensive / noble / precious / (honorific) your

So...I got it correct?

 

[Kevin]

expensive / noble / precious / (honorific) your

I don't think that's correct. But I can't find any references for "Hanji", what Mark says is a Samurai adaptation of Kanji. @deltatango a little help.....we can't figure out this mysterious Hanji language.
