Description I'm starting a series of calligraphic kanji. This is the first (excluding my other two typography projects).

"Osorezu" means "to have no fear." It is written in the sousho-style calligraphy, normally written as 恐れず.

If anyone has any suggestions for sayings, words, etc. I'd gladly draw them up. (^_^)

Let me know what you think. Comments/Critique are welcome.

You realise reading it in english it says "BUT"

Quite ironic..

Thanks!
A bit of a stretch to see the word "But", but yeah I guess it's a little ironic, lol.

This is simply exquisite.
I find the style refreshing. You said it was sousho, no? I'll have to make a mental note of that.

Wow! thanks!!
yep, there are three main types of Japanese Calligraphy: kaisho, gyosho, and sousho. sousho is the most cursive style (sometimes illegible if you don't know how to read the sousho style), but it's my personal favorite. (^.^)
