Do You Love Kanji?

@Nishi790

I love them as little puzzles - I like to try to work out how to read the words and what they mean. I also love that they can be beautiful - like little artworks - yes, you can do calligraphy in the latin alphabet, and it’s appealing in its own way, but I really love the look of kanji.

Well said, I couldn’t agree more!

I started to really love kanji when I found this calligraphy channel on YouTube:

I second this recommendation! Just watching him write kanji is pleasant and relaxing. Especially when he uses gel pens, my favorite kind!
