Chinese and Japanese Kanji Calligraphy Wall Scroll

These two characters create a word that can be translated as bravery or courage in Chinese, Japanese and Korean. You may have also seen the single-character version, which is just the first character alone. This version is more direct. It adds an element of energy or spirit to the concept of courage.

If this is not the color or style you want, please note that we have lots of options for custom Bravery calligraphy wall scrolls here!


About the artist:

This calligraphy was created by Li Dan-Qing of Beijing. He's an older gentleman who has been involved with the art community of China, all of his life. Now in retirement, he creates calligraphy for us for sort of "hobby income".


About the materials and construction of this wall scroll:

The calligraphy was done using black Chinese ink on xuan paper (known incorrectly in the west as "rice paper"). The raw artwork was then taken to our Wall Scroll Workshop where it was laminated to more sheets of xuan paper, and built into a beautiful silk brocade wall scroll. Except for the use of a lathe to turn the wooden knobs, this wall scroll is virutally 100% handmade from start to finish (even the paper is made by hand).
