Custom Joyfulness Chinese & Japanese Calligraphy Wall Scroll

This is a single-character form of happiness that holds the ideas of laughing and having a good time. This is good for a Chinese audience, but this is not a word seen alone very often in Korean.

This is the type of happiness known in the west as "joy". The radical on the right side of this character is often seen alone (with the same meaning). If you write two of those radicals side by side, you create another character known in English as "double happiness", which is associated with weddings and a happy marriage.

In Chinese, "xi" is pronounced like "she" but with your tongue sitting in the bottom of your mouth and your teeth slightly open (there is no sound in English exactly like this).

This is the type of happiness known in the west as "joy". It can also be translated as rejoice or "take pleasure in". If you write two of these joy characters side by side, you create another character known in English as "double happiness", which is associated with weddings and a happy marriage.

There is another version of this character that you will find on our website with an additional radical on the left side (exactly same meaning, just an alternate form). The version of happiness shown here is the commonly written form in China, Japan and South Korea (banned in North Korea).

Joyfulness is an inner sense of peace and happiness. You appreciate the gifts each day brings. Without joyfulness, when the fun stops, our happiness stops. Joy can carry us through the hard times even when we are feeling very sad.

This word can also mean pleasure, enjoyment, delight, cheerful, or merry. In some ways, this is the essence that makes someone to be perceived as a charming person.
