"Go away" Japanese calligraphy




 "" (kyo, saru). It is translated as go away, leave, depart, etc.
 This character is written by Kanzi,
Regular script.

 Excuse me.
 I cannot discover the etymology of this character...
 It may have gone away somewhere.

 In the lifetime, I often have had such experience.
 I will learn from all of your wide knowledge.

  4. The upper part seems "Tsuchi" (=Earth) and the lower it is for sure "Watakushi" (=I). I imagine it may be a person (who moves by himself) plus the world (moving by nature's regulations). Together, the idea of leave.

  5. That reminds me of a bird, with its head down, flying away.

  7. At first, 去 sounded sad to me. But, then I thought people leave, so we can have joy to meet them again.

    Now it seems deeply hopeful.

    Thank you!

  12. WOW, I am a fan of languages, in fact, I´m studying linguistics and I can´t believe how symbols can represent letters in some languages, words in anothers and entire sentences in others. currently i´m studying Spanish. I travelled to Argentina to be immersed in the culture of the Spanish language and stayed in a hotel boutique in rosario, one of the most important cities. It is interesting to see how different is the Spanish of Argentina compared to all of those from Latin America.
    Cheers,
