The Japanese word airurando is composed of the kanji愛 (read ai) meaning "Love" and 蘭 (read ran) meaning "Orchid."
Country names were originally translated to Japanese using a phonetic translation to kanji. These kanji were selected mainly for their pronunciation and not necessarily for their meaning. Also Ireland is commonly written in katakana as アイルランド. The pronunciation is exactly the same and so we have included both designs here.
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.
