ix · from his own hand

This is how the calligrapher writes — three pieces, one hand.

Everything above is drawn by a typeface: a thousand Isabels, the same stroke. Not this one. The calligrapher dips the brush and writes yours a single time — the ink opens where it opens, the stroke breaks where it breaks.

風露依 — written with a brush by the calligrapher
夢玖 — written with a brush by the calligrapher
慈英夢寿 — written with a brush by the calligrapher
three pieces by the calligrapher · brush and ink on paper · none of them says your name yet
I want mine, written by hand →
30 USD — and there is no second copy.
x · for you, not for the name

Shall we choose your kanji together?

Everything above was chosen for the name Isabel — the same for any Isabel. A commission is different: you tell the calligrapher what matters to you, what you want to protect and who you want to become — and together you pick the best kanji.

If you are getting it tattooed, or you seriously want a kanji that is only yours — start here.

xi · wear it

The same kanji, on something you can touch.

Your name printed on what you use every day. We do not sell the shirt: we give you the file and you take it to your printer.
