"Go away" Japanese calligraphy
"去" (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.
Hello Ruma
ReplyDeleteLovey pictures , especially the first one !
Greetings, Joop
Impressionnant, mais je ne crois pas pouvoir un jour déchiffré ces caractères :)
ReplyDeleteit's amazing how with a single symbol you can figure out a dozen of images!
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me of a bird, with its head down, flying away.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you wrote me a comment on my blog! Because of this, I could see your work on calligraphy! Fascinates me calligraphy, I really want to learn the art of calligraphy ... I have attempted to draw kanji characters in the style of "Love, " "Faith, " "Honesty, " "Nothing. "
ReplyDeleteNow I have the opportunity to watch your blog. Thank you!
wuwei
ReplyDeleteAt first, 去 sounded sad to me. But, then I thought people leave, so we can have joy to meet them again.
ReplyDeleteNow it seems deeply hopeful.
Thank you!
Impressive work, fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a happy and healthy 2011, full of your fantastic photos.
Hugs from far and hot Brasil

Very interesting, I like your blog...
ReplyDeleteWOW, 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.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
