Fine Japanese Calligraphy

The Art of Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase

Born Free

自由に生まれて (jiyuu ni umarete)

The Japanese phrase 自由に生まれて meaning "Born Free"and is composed of the 自由 (read jiyuu) meaning "free", the grammatical element に (read ni) and the verb form 生まれて from the verb 生まれる (read umareru) meaning "to be born".

Verify: 自由に生まれて in the Japanese-English Dictionary

This beautiful art celebrates the natural freedom that we are all born with - and to me it always reminds me of the documentary Born Free and Elsa the lioness.
