The Art of Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase

Provide

扶養 (fuyou)

The Japanese word fuyou also means "to support" and is the root of 扶養者 (read fuyousha) meaning "provider; breadwinner; benefactor". In our opinion it is better to use Provide (fuyou) to indicate one is a "provider" or "breadwinner for the family" rather than the more explicit fuyousha. The reason being that Japanese simply appends the kanji (read sha) meaning "person" to change it from "provide" to "provider" - however, as the word is describing oneself this sounds redundant. So if you are looking for a tattoo for "provider" we suggest using this design.
