Japanese Kanji characters are full of meaning and beauty. But if you don't speak
Japanese, how do you find characters that say what you want and are not just a
"kanji cliché"? Here are over 130 kanji in a fun format for easy use.
Pick from The Way of the Warrior, Heart, Nature, and Spirit categories to find
the characters that express your sentiments best. Then adapt the clear letter-forms
(in several different kanji "fonts") to get just the effect you want.
Use the kanji for tattoos or on plates and mugs, stationery, T-shirts, and anything
else to personalize a present or to just let the world know where you stand!
Includes an introduction to kanji, writing tips, design ideas, and the Asian Zodiac
kanji for birth years. |
