喬 is the name Jo in Chinese (Mandarin).
ジョー is the name Jo in Japanese.
Note: Because this title is entirely Japanese Katakana, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.
Jodo
杖道 (jōdō) is a form of martial art using a cane staff.
The short staff used in this Japanese style is called a jō.
Jōdō is similar to and often compared with bōjutsu.
Note: 杖道 can also be written 杖術 (a slight variation on the first character).
Purity
Clean and Pure
淨 is the most simple way to express purity or cleanliness in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.
As a single character, the concept is broad: This can be a verb (the act of cleaning, purifying, or cleansing) but it can also be the state of being clean, pure, and chaste. In some contexts, it can be a place to clean (like a bathing room for the soul in a Buddhist context). In Japanese, this can be a female given name “Jou” or “jō” (the Japanese equivalent of the English girl's name “Chastity”).
