Year of the Boar in Japanese Calligraphy

亥年 inoshishidoshi Year of the Boar

The Japanese word inoshishidoshi is composed of the kanji 亥 (read inoshishi) meaning "boar" and 年 (read doshi) meaning "year". These same kanji are also commonly read as idoshi. If you are looking for a design for the animal "boar" then consider using Boar (inoshishi).
