Flames on the mountain ridge Explanation: In this case I would go for something more natural sounding and idiomatic in English. Also, it might be an idea to check to see if there is a translation that is being used already or ask the client for suggestions. |

1 hr confidence:
Flames soar over ridgeline Explanation: I think this title is for the exhibition of Mr. Joji Yamashita. His workpieces have actually a ridgeline and I think this tile is refering to that. It seems that discoloration (Yohen, 窯変) over the ridgeline makes his works distinct.

peer agreement (net): +2"Ridgelines of Fire" Explanation: As a title for an art exhibition, IMHO what is required here is something absolutely dramatic likely to attract a crowd. Referring to the objects referred to, as Harry-san suggested, is the key to making a success of your function here, i.e. not just translate a word string, but to make it work as the key stone of the intended marketing pitch. This you will always do in all safety, by looking at the whole picture/functional context before jumping in. Don't agree? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs (2013-01-28 02:42:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops! apologies for mixing my metaphores so dismally :-) : "Key stones" don't ring out, so how could they have a "pitch"? "Key note" would have been much better... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 hrs (2013-01-28 04:08:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- (this is a 'resend'. previous did not register) Oops! apologies for mixing my metaphors so dismally: "keystone" does not echo the connotation that marketing "pitch" carries. Let's make this "keynote" instead. Example sentence(s):
