For the bicentennial restoration of the historic 1811 Journal, Han Translation assisted Matsu Ri with the Kashūgo dialect. A great deal of research was required to restore this lost Japanese vernacular, for proper incorporation into the narrative of the famous expedition.

Han Translation has yet again adapted its products and services to incorporate a revolutionary web technology. Metaplace. A virtual world on the internet, or a 3D web space.
We have opened a storefront in this new environment and encourage our loyal customers to have a look and share your opinion. The site is still in closed beta testing, but will open to the public soon. At that time, anyone will be able to embed our flash-based virtual world in a blog or web page.

For years we have built our Cafepress.com shop into an internationally known brand. We are pleased with the success and have previously been unwilling to explore other distributors for our products.
However, recent changes to the Zazzle.com service has presented us with a new opportunity. As a result, we using them to test a small boutique shop of Han Translation Gift products.
These specialty items will not be found in our main store, and are planned to rotate seasonally. We think this limited expansion is an exciting opportunity for us and our loyal customers. We invite you to visit the satellite boutique at:

Over the past few months, Han Translation has expanded its web store and translation capacity.
On the art side, several hundred new designs have been added to our product inventory. These range in language and style, as we have aimed to satisfy the diversified interests of our loyal customers. We are also considering other web store supply vendors, and hope to offer a new range of product types in the near future.
On the translation side, our Nagoya office has finished its relocation and expansion. This move was a needed step to facilitate the growth of our China-to-Japan business services. While we continue to operate our Chicago office, many of our resources have shifted to Asia. However, this has only given us more tools to better fulfill the needs of our global clients.
These are just a few of the exciting updates that we have been involved in with our translation and design work. All in an effort to add as much value as possible to what we do, which allows our clients to be even more successful at what they do best – and save on costs.

It is our goal at Han Translation Gifts to match artwork and photography with the proper merchandise, with a distinctly Asian focus. There are many historic eras that have been overlooked, and their lessons learned also quickly forgotten. We make no endorsements behind any political claims of the historical products we sell, except to preserve them for collectors and offer as unique gift items. We carefully screen our selection to provide rare and original items. Some designs do lend themselves to multiple product uses which appeals to our customers. But it is not our goal to slap a logo on a million products that do not fit its theme. We are proud to blend our historic products with fresh and innovative designs which are contemporary in nature. From all of us at Han Translation Gifts, we want to express our gratitude for your valued support and continued interest. Please feel free to contact us directly with any comments or suggestions. Our goal in being successful is to make sure you our happy with our products.
