牛 ushi Cow

The Japanese word ushi translates as "cow" and is a single kanji word. With the right context ushi can refer to the "Year of the Ox". However, if you are looking for "Year of the Ox" as a stand-alone design and want no possible ambiguity then consider ordering Year of the Ox (ushidoshi).

About the Designs

Each design is Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase's hand-brushed calligraphy of the word or phrase on this page, delivered as a PDF you can print. Every PDF includes the line art, so a tattoo artist or a craftsperson can work from the outline as well as the brushed image. The line art prints sharp at any size. The brushed image is sized to print at the dimensions shown on the PDF, so for a larger piece, work from the line art.
