Kusa in Chinese / Japanese...
Buy a Kusa calligraphy wall scroll here!
草 means grass or straw in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.
Depending on context, this can also mean manuscript, draft (of a document), or rough copy. In the botany context, it can also refer to weeds, herbs, thatch, or plants.
草 is also the first character of caoshu or sōsho, the Chinese and Japanese wild cursive script style of calligraphy.
Sometimes written in variant form 艸.
This can be the surname Sou/Sō, or the given name Kusa in Japanese (there are also other romanizations for this Kanji).
