The Confluence of Japanese Calligraphy and Logo Design

Recently, I had the privilege of merging my passion for Japanese calligraphy with the contemporary field of logo design. A client, captivated by the authentic touch of calligraphy brushes, sought to infuse their brand identity with this traditional Japanese art form. As a calligrapher, this project was a unique intersection where art met branding, far removed from my usual realm of ink and paper.


It's fascinating to see traditional art forms like calligraphy not only survive but thrive in the realms of marketing and branding. While I am neither a logo designer nor a branding strategist by trade, the demand for such unique integrations speaks volumes. It appears that the minimalist beauty of Japanese calligraphy, with its elegant strokes and refined simplicity, resonates deeply with those looking to convey a sense of luxury and exclusivity in their branding.


This collaboration has been a testament to the enduring value of human touch in art, even in an era dominated by digital creation. From the intricate designs of luxury brand collaborations to the labels of premium sake, the appeal of handcrafted artistry remains unparalleled.


Navigating this project has been a journey of discovery, not just for me but for the client as well. It underscores the idea that in a world increasingly driven by artificial intelligence and digital creation, there is still an irreplaceable value in the authenticity and soul of traditional artistry. This experience has reaffirmed my belief in the power of blending disciplines, cultures, and eras to create something truly unique and resonant.


As we move forward, let's not forget the beauty and depth that traditional arts bring to our modern world. The fusion of calligraphy and logo design is just one example of how we can bridge the old with the new, creating timeless expressions of brand identities that speak to hearts and minds across the globe.




A logo designed by Fuh-mi
My work for a honey maker in New Zealand. "Honey" is written in Kanji as "蜂蜜", where "蜂" represents a bee, capturing the image of a bee flying, and "蜜" is designed to evoke the image of a beehive. Used lovely and warm touch to make the logo sweet as their honey.
