Gratitude in Japanese Calligraphy — 10 Hand-Brushed Designs

感謝 (kansha)

The Japanese word 感謝 means "Gratitude, Thanks" and is used informally in spoken Japanese as "Thank you". It is composed of the kanji 感 (read kan) meaning "feeling; emotion; sensation" and 謝 (read sha) meaning "thank; apologize".

感謝 reminds us of all that we have in our lives for which we are grateful. The art would make a very special "thank you" gift.
