Please understand that Japanese does not translate to English perfectly. One person may translate a "z" another may say it's "j" or "ou" and "o", etc. Also, some names can be read a couple of ways. This list, however, will be as close as we will get to "perfect" and helpful as it was translated by Yajiro kokeshi craftsman, Hideyuki Sato of Kijidokoro-Sato.
