Earth Ground Kanji Japanese Calligraphy Postcard

A kanji is the Japanese word for Chinese character. Chinese characters represent an idea into one character. Typically, one part of the kanji is the meaning of the character, while the other gives it the sound. They are usually combined with other kanji to make complex words. This beautiful postcard has Japanese calligraphy for the kanji 地. It can mean earth or ground. When used on its own, earth is pronounced as "chi". A word using this kanji is 地球 (or chikyuu) - meaning globe. Did you know that this kanji represents one of the 5 Japanese elements? The calligraphy was handwritten by me on a tablet. The greens, browns, and blues on the postcard give the impression of Earth. A peaceful vibe is added with the watercolor style background, without taking away from the gracefulness of the kanji. On the back is the meaning of the kanji, to show your friends what you know! Did you know you don't need an envelope to send a postcard? You can save a little money that way, especially if you use the postcard stamp. But if you want an envelope, chose the regular postcard.
