名誉 meiyo Honor

名誉 is honor: a good name, glory, the respect a person has earned. Placed before a title it means honorary, as in 名誉教授 (meiyo kyōju), professor emeritus. To win back a lost good name is 名誉挽回 (meiyo bankai).

The Japanese word 名誉 meaning "Honor" is composed of the kanji 名 (read mei) meaning "distinguished" and 誉 (read yo) meaning "honor".

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.

If you need your design again later, ask us for it and we will send it.
