Exactly. That's why I thought there's some meaning behind the characters chosen. Using Matt's reading, we get "house that immediately dropped 18 liters." Hmmm....

As an example, John can be phonetically written to say "monkey hut" or "tranquil living." I prefer the latter.

The writing style for this chop IS interesting. As Matt said, usually katakana (Japanese) or seal script (Chinese) is used for chops.
