IPA font should be installed, or some other that contains ‘hentaigana’.
as an image, this is:
probably, it should be assumed that the upper line is in ‘kana’. kanji does not match, whatever shape shifting is applied…
and, 志 does not have kun’yomi “shi”, only on’yomi.
though, it might be better to look for name description and explanation from the maker. 
All kana come from kanji, and it’s not strange for the readings to have been the onyomi. 利 > り, 加 > か, ͡己 > こ, etc
Why are y’all studying 変態仮名?
I prefer 弁仮名 or 感じ myself…
oh, how/when did you learn empathy/telepathy? 
So I don’t really need to identify the kanji, but I am curious about where writing 工 the way it appears in those two pictures comes from. Is that like some sort of blocky calligraphic style?
I just happened to see this question even though I’ve been off these forums and WK for a bit. My resident expert agrees with @Leebo. She didn’t take two seconds to tell me it was 志. Apparently that upper line isn’t always strictly kana (at least not historically).
Maybe they wanted to fit in a lightning theme in there? 
Okay, so this one isn’t really that hard, but it did make me go, “Why? Just why did you have to choose that boldened font and colour?”
The title is shown in video again as white outlines and then again filled in blue, which are both a bit easier to read, but for whatever reason it’s this picture that’s used in the YouTube thumbnail. (-_-) As a thumbnail it’s even more illegible.
The picture is a title of a song, which can be found here, if anyone is interested.
that 29-stroke glooming ﾘﾝｶﾝ… [鬱] at the end is more easily recognizable than the one regular 15-stroke grieve [憂] before it.
That’s like… quarter-width kana…
It’s on the back of an old elementary school staff uniform that I was given…
Reckon it’s
渺々千里果てしなき
怒涛に海に 船出して
鉄腕ならすますらおの
熱き血湖を
受けつぎし
我ら健児の
？？を見よ
I’m really not sure of 湖, though, and I can’t find anything that quite matches the two kanji in the last line.
Don’t ask me what it means exactly, though.
isn’t that 潮 ?
most likely, 意気
with this, the text is:
渺々千里果てしなき
怒涛に海に 船出して
鉄腕ならすますらおの
熱き血潮を
受けつぎし
我ら健児の
意気を見よ
ps: how did you catch 船 ? the table part does not look like it…
Oh, of course. I knew I recognised that kanji. (I was trying to do a radical search with 車, but of course that’s not 車, is it?)
Oh yes, I see. I initially thought the first one was 意, but then decided that the middle radical looked more like 田 than 日…
That was one of the ones I found easier, actually. 
I have a bunch of 御朱印 I collected from japan, some of those might be nice for this thread. Is that ok to post?
Please do!
Nice. I’ve almost finished my second shuincho. 
I’ve also got a Chichibu pilgrimage book, and each temple has a printed page with some kind of calligraphic message which I can’t make heads or tails of that I was thinking I might post here. There’s thirty-four of them, though.
Wow. That ancient text sure is squiggly…
