Zen in Japanese
(when Zen is pronounced zen)
ゼン
zen
by Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase
These three original designs of the name
Zen are written in
katakana which is the standard way names are translated to Japanese.
Katakana symbols are like letters and have no meaning - they strictly translate the pronunciation of the name. Japanese is written horizontally and vertically and both are correct.
The download options include all three fonts shown. The translation is the same for each, only the font is different. We simply want you to have a choice when you ink the design. The sizes are 1.1" W x 0.6" H (2.8 cm x 1.5 cm), 1.1" W x 0.6" H (2.8 cm x 1.5 cm) and 1.4" W x 0.8" H (3.6 cm x 2.0 cm). And remember your tattoo artist can easily resize the design.
