I'm looking for the kanji or Japanese calligraphy figures for "Jade Orca" or baring that, "Jade Whale." It's for a tattoo-like design I'm working on, and I am getting a headache trying to find it myself. So for 5,000 gold, who can find me the best images of this script?

Jade is a toughy. That was giving me most of my headache. Thanks for the Orca, tho. I was starting to wonder if they even had a word for orca because all my searches came up negative. razz

翠玉, suigyoku, Noun, "emerald; jade." Kanji are literally those for "green" and "jewel." 翡翠, hisui, Noun, 1. Kingfisher, 2. Jade. Kanji are literally "kingfisher" and "green." 鯱, shachi, Noun, "orca; grampus; killer whale." Literally "fabulous dolphin-like fish" or "killer whale" So you want 翠玉鯱, suigyoku-shachi. Denshi Jisho's a wonderful site for this stuff.Also, if one cannot read Japanese on one's computer because they have a version of Windows older than Vista, Wikipedia has your solution.

Speaking of kanji and tatoos, I plan on getting the virtues of Bushido on my back.
義 = gi, Rectitude (rightness)
勇 = yu, Courage
仁 = jin, Benevolence
礼 = rei, Respect
誠 = makoto, Honesty
誉 = meiyo, Honor
忠 = chugi, Loyalty
