" ZEN " Japanese calligraphy





    "禪" (zen, or yuzuru) It is translated in ZEN, give, quiet.
    This character is written by Kanzi,
Semi-cursive script.
    Regular script is here,
look at please.

    Etymology : Phono-semantic compound
    semantic
(show, manifest) + phonetic (single, individual, only)

    The ascetic practices are things to explore the only truth.
    The form may resemble a
Dharma doll when I stare at this letter. 
    illusion...?

    Anyway, the meaning of the word is solemn and graceful.

  13. Superbe couple de caractères...
    il m'évoque une silhouette féminine à droite et masculine à gauche;
    pourtant un couple d'humains n'a rien de zen!
    :))
    parlez-vous français, Ruma?
