苦しんだ学んだ変わった is three verbs in the plain past: 苦しんだ kurushinda, suffered; 学んだ mananda, learned; 変わった kawatta, changed. There are no particles and no pronoun, since Japanese leaves the I to the speaker. The order is the sense: the hardship, then the lesson, then the person who came out of it. Japanese gives Caesar's veni, vidi, vici the same shape, 来た見た勝った.
We want you to be as happy with the meaning as you are with Master Takase's art. To learn more, visit Philology of 苦しんだ学んだ変わった.
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.
Master Takase personally brushes your scroll when you order, and it bears her red seal and her signature. The scroll has real silk borders and layered Japanese paper, so it hangs straight, and it arrives ready to display.
