kanji

So, what’s your fave, then?

So, occasionally, I allow the geek in me to freely roam the streets. It’s a ‘not-very-often-occurrence’, mostly as Mrs Grumbleweed at No 26 gets real scared as he walks passed, so he’s usually kept under close lock and key. Today though, he was permitted to pull together his favourite kanji of the moment. Sad, he knows, but hey, that’s what being a geek’s all about, right?

Of course, the obligatory question must be, therefore: What is your favourite kanji?

  • I would have to say 凸凹 because it sounds like it should, looks like it should and would fit together if you turned it on itself. The bonus of course, is lots of boxy goodness and onomatopoeia to boot.
  • Well, Brett, you've really gone and done it this time: this is a SUPERB suggestion. Two odd kanji in a perfect combination: onomatopoeic additions are a winner every time.
  • one of my favorites is actually 電, it's got some fundamental stroke order rules that helps me with other kanji and it just looks really cool. http://www.flickr.com/photos/headingforjapan/3777...
  • 電 is a pretty cool looking kanji, in fact it's one of the best ones, I reckon, though I missed her out of my run for some reason. Good choice, Will!
  • 水 is pretty sexy.

    But I also like 困る (a tree in a box = a problem?)
    and 磁 because it looks cool.
  • Hey mokudekiru, and thanks for your comments. I'm with you on 水, it is très sexy, and I really like 磁 too, the only problem with that particular gem being that it takes three days to write! I love 困, but then I think I have a real fetish for any kanji in boxes, such as 図 or 国, for example..
  • They're like bento-kanji! 図 is a nice one. Have to say, I'm not a big fan of writing 園 though :(
  • Bento Kanji..oh my God, I think you may have coined something there.. What a great name, and so fitting! You're right, 園 definitely bucks the trend. Bento Kanji..
  • Good point, maybe I can make millions from Bento Kanji™!!
  • Paul
    I'm kind of partial to 花 , 命 , and 火 .
  • Nice choices! 命 is a great one!
