Why We Make Kanji Art.
KanjiMe turns personal stories into Japanese calligraphy. Each piece is shaped by the person behind the name and made in Japan, drawing on the tradition of Kanji and Kakejiku.
Behind Every Name Is a Story.
A name is where every piece begins — its sound, and the person behind it. Kanji can express more than pronunciation, so we look for characters shaped by your name and by who you are.
Japanese Tradition, Made Personal.
Kanji has carried meaning through Japanese culture for centuries.
Kakejiku — traditional Japanese hanging scrolls — have long been used to display calligraphy and art within Japanese spaces.
KanjiMe brings these traditions together in a personal form, creating artwork in Japan that can be appreciated anywhere in the world.
There Is No Template for Your Story.
No two people carry the same story. That is why we do not begin with a list of meanings, or match characters to sound alone. We begin by understanding the person. What we create should belong to you — not something that could have been made for anyone else.
