Hi there!

I wanted to ask if there's any native-speaking Japanese who can help me to "translate" the following sentence (romaji) into Japanese (Kanji/Kana):

Kendo wa Rei ni Hajimari, Rei ni Owaru

THX a lot!

Kendo starts with rei, finishes with rei.

Doh!..I should learn to read properly. Just now realised you wanted kanji/kana for it.

I'm not native or fluent, but this is rather easy:

剣道は礼に始まり、礼に終わる.

I hope you can read kanji on your computer. Otherwise I'll do an image of it at home.

Here:

剣道　は　礼に始まり、　礼に終る

And spice beat me to it, hehehe

Dont we have some native speaking ppl at our dojo Harald?

礼に終る

More common is 終わる (as noted in edict): 2.7 million matches on google versus 720,000 matches for 終る, and 194,000 vs 50,000 on goo.ne.jp. It's also the default choice in my IME

I may not be fluent, but I'm a geek, I guess.

Thx for all the info so far ...

Well, if we have such competent members in here, I'd like to post another question concerning this point:

Anybody able to "translate" my signature: Katte Ute - Utte Katsuna ...?
