When I was younger, some Japanese friend explained me that usually a single
ideogram is the equivalent of a word in a Latin language. Now you seem to
imply something different. Could you please give some example of a name of
a Japanese organization with a long string of characters? (actually the
number of characters in Japanese and a rough translation will suffice,
since I cannot read Japanese).
