"Ground" Japanese calligraphy　



"地" (chi, or tsuchi). It is translated as earth, soil, ground, etc.
This character is written by Kanzi, Regular script.

Etymology :　Ideogrammic compound
土　(soil) + 　也　(The hieroglyph of the scorpion that it lengthened evenly. The state to improve evenly is expressed.)

Compounds　:　地球　 (the Earth; globe; world)


Look at the my posts before, please. The earth, The soil.

"地 (Ground)" is one of Japanese philosophy (Five elements).
The source of the power is shown.

    As you explain each mark, I'm beginning to "see" the symbolic essence. Thank you!
