ix · from his own hand

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

Everything above is drawn by a typeface: a thousand Naomis, 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

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 Naomi — the same for any Naomi. 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.
