米国 beikoku America

The Japanese word 米国 meaning "America" also translates as "United States, USA, United States of America" and is composed of the kanji 米 (read bei) meaning "rice, USA" and 国 (read koku) meaning "country". One also commonly sees America translated to katakana as アメリカ (read amerika) and less commonly the archaic kanji form 亜米利加 (Read amerika).

About the Designs

The brushed image is sized to print at the dimensions shown on the PDF, so for a larger piece, work from the line art.
