長寿 chōju Longevity

長寿 is a long life, living to a great age. It is said of people, and also of things that last: a TV show that runs for years is a 長寿番組 (chōju bangumi).

The Japanese word 長寿 meaning "Longevity" is composed of the kanji 長 (read chō) meaning "long" and 寿 (read ju) meaning "longevity; one's natural life".

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.
