2,Japanese naming culture

Malligraphy (Calligraphy workshop studio Kyoto) Session C,The most popular request is to write a name in Kanji charactors.So I would like to introduce you to the naming culture of Japan.

This picture on left was written at Jennifer's request.

慈(A heart that loves the weak, such as children)=”J”

恵(Blessing)=”e"

仁(Compassion)=”nni"

富(Wealth)=”f”

愛(Love)="er"

In this way, when I received the request,I used Kanji with positive meanings.

In Japan, we give children names with good meanings in Kanji,hoping that their lives will be bright and prosperous.Each Kanji has a meaning.So writing your name in Kanji is meaningful.
