Japanese sake barrel fonts
Article by Kyoko for Ping Mag in 2005 on the letters found on sake barrels, all dating back to the Edo era, and thus called edo-moji. The characters with swooshy wind-blown endings are called hige-moji (hige is a whisker). The most frquent character is the ultra-black one, naturally called sumo-moji. The more subtle Kanteiryu is designed from the image of a female Kabuki character. |
