蜜月 mitsugetsu Honeymoon

蜜月 is the honeymoon, the first month or so of a marriage. The wedding trip is 蜜月旅行 (mitsugetsu ryokō). The word was made to translate the English honeymoon, honey and moon one for one. It is also said of any close bond in its best days, as in 蜜月時代 (mitsugetsu jidai).

The Japanese word 蜜月 meaning "Honeymoon" is composed of the kanji 蜜 (read mitsu) meaning "honey" and 月 (read getsu) meaning "moon".

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.

Your purchase includes a personal-use license: use the design as a tattoo reference, frame it, engrave it, print it for yourself, or make it into a gift. For more information see Licensing, which also covers commercial-use options that may be purchased separately.

Your PDF is available for download the moment your order completes, and a copy is attached to your emailed receipt.
