How do you write Richmond in Japanese?
Richmond is written リッチモンド in katakana. Katakana is the script Japanese people use for foreign names, so this is how Richmond would appear on a Japanese ID card, a café cup or a name tag. Depending on the origin of the name, it can also be written リチモンド (spelled out).

Is 里知紋道 a real Japanese name?
Not as a traditional name. Japanese people write foreign names in katakana, so 里知紋道 is a creative kanji spelling (called ateji), chosen for its sounds and meanings. Japanese readers will understand what each character means, and many will enjoy the idea behind it.
How many strokes is 里知紋道?
里知紋道 has 37 strokes in total (里: 7, 知: 8, 紋: 10, 道: 12). It takes some practice to write neatly, so look up the stroke order before trying it with a brush.

Each character in 里知紋道 has a positive meaning, so it is a reasonable choice. Keep in mind that Japanese people will read it as the meaning of the characters, not instantly as “Richmond”. If you want your name to be recognized, katakana (リッチモンド) is clearer. Either way, ask a native speaker to check the final design.
