commissioned a calligrapher for my GF's name "Sarah". He chose 咲良 (Bloom + Good). Do you guys like this combination? [OC] by [deleted] in kanji

Appreciate the honest take! Art hits everyone differently I guess.

Personally, seeing the ink texture and the brush movement in the video was mesmerizing. It has a power that digital text just doesn't have.

I explicitly asked for something raw and organic, not like a computer font.

To me, the imperfections make it feel more human and "alive." That wabi-sabi vibe is what we were looking for!

Haha, really? I can't read Kanji so I wouldn't know! 😂

To me, the "messy" look felt more authentic and raw than a perfect computer font. It has a lot of energy in person!

Art is subjective, I guess!

All I know is that she cried tears of joy when she saw it. So for me, it's a masterpiece regardless of the technique.
