mei 美 is chinese for beautiful. piao liang 漂亮 is pretty.
I have doubts about this being really a Japanese person. He/She writes to a Chinese: "Chinese poetry may be breathtakingly beautiful, but you know as well as I do that it does not translate into Western languages, which guarantees that I will never be able to appreciate its beauty." A Japanese can easily read Chinese poetry. A Japanese will NEVER speak about "westsern language" as if it was somehow superior to "non-western" languages. My 2 cents
Momoko is a Japanese name. It is not common in Chinese culture.
Japanese.
The samurai is a Japanese warrior, not Chinese.
Chinese has different sounds, lettering, and meanings to their writings. Japanese is the same way but Japanese do borrow the Chinese lettering from the Chinese and but the Japanese do have their own pronunciation for it. They are still different languages.
