The Golden Hook Japan

The Hook is another interesting kanji character in calligraphy form found often around temples and shrines in Japan. I like the color contrast and scratchy feel of the photo.

I’m always looking for a different approach when taking photographs of either similar or the same subject. I thought the closeup, angle, and design of the Kanji character provided an interesting perspective.

Kanji Japan is a photography collection of Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji that make up the Japanese writing system. I find these writing characters to be an artform in itself and are a joy to photograph. Images were taken by Jim Atwood Photography at http://www.jimatwood.net in Nagoya, Tokyo, Yokohama, and Nagano Japan.

Blurred Kanji

Used the tilt lens effect created in Photoshop on this photograph. I wanted to do something a little more artistic and thought this worked perfectly for the look I was aiming for. The meaning of this Kanji is "Big" which is why I did a closeup without taking too much away from the Kanji Character itself. I had fun with this one.

Chalk Kanji

Saw this written on what looked like a Chalk Board, but it could be painting. It was kind of interesting I thought. Only a portion of the name or message was captured, enough to get the effect or texture I wanted.
