Japanese Proverbs
Wikipedia has a great list of Japanese proverbs.
From the oddly specific: Miiratori ga miira ni naru — “a mummy hunter becomes a mummy.” And akinasu ha yome ni kuwasuna — “eggplants from Fall are tasty- If you let someone else, even your son’s wife have a taste of them, he or she will take all home and you would be left without them.”
To the profound: Kanemochi kenka sezu — “The rich don’t fight.” To outright bukakke references: Heso de cha wo wakasu — “making tea on the navel.”
From the other side of linguistic confusion is this gallery of people who ran out and got random Chinese characters tattooed on themselves which translate to nothing.
