Bamboo Kanji Japanese Calligraphy Postcard シーズンポストカード

A kanji is the Japanese word for Chinese character. Chinese characters represent an idea into one character. Typically, one part of the kanji is the meaning of the character, while the other gives it the sound. They are usually combined with other kanji to make complex words. This beautiful postcard has Japanese calligraphy for the kanji 竹. It means bamboo. When used on its own as a word, bamboo is pronounced "take". 竹 is one of the kanji that is also means the same in Chinese. The calligraphy was handwritten by me on a tablet. A pretty green background adds, but not distracts, from the kanji. On the back is the meaning of the kanji, to show your friends what you know!
