KANJi
Kanji are ideographic characters. Each Kanji character represents an
entire object, idea, or meaning in a visually expressive way.
Some are unique, artistic and beautiful. That's why so many people choose
Kanji symbols for their embroidered logo design. Words in Japanese can be written
three different ways. Kanji characters can be embroidered to represent an idea or meaning. Words and names can also be embroidered using one of two different Japanese alphabets, Hiragana and Katakana.
