Hanko Meanings

Since Lee actually kept a picture of the Hanko, I can finally look up the meanings. So far, I've used it to sign in to work in the mornings and to sign important documents, but haven't stamped it on anything to actually look up what is says. Mine (the second one in the original post) has two symbols, "a" and "na", so it just says "Ana". The meanings for the symbols are "subordinate" or "Asia" for "a" and "what?" for "na".

Lee's (the first one) has a bunch of symbols. I honestly can't find the first or last one. Might be the "hey this guy's a foreigner" symbols. Or it could be, as Lee said, things we don't want to know about. Either way, the last symbol on the top row is "ri" and the first one on the next row is "i", so it says "rii", pronounced as close as you can get to "Lee". The weird thing is that for Katakana, the written lanugage those two symbols are in, to make a long vowel (ii instead of i), you would actually just draw a horizontal line to indicate the elongation. In Hiragana, you'd double the vowel like it is here. Though it could be done this way because the elongation symbol is on the second line instead of next to the syllable. A single horizontal line also means the number one, so it could be interpreted as "Ri-ichi" or "Li the First" I suppose. I must investigate this further...
