新元号が『令和』に決った記念に角字を作ってみました。角字は、江戸時代に誕生したグラフィックアートです。正方形のグリッド内にほぼ水平・垂直のラインのみで文字（漢字）が表現されます。お祭りで着る半被や印半纏(しるしばんてん)、商標、印鑑、家紋、看板などに使われました。

There is a style of penmanship called “Kakuji” in Japan. Edo-born Kakuji is a graphicart that expresses letters (kanji) with almost horizontal and vertical lines only.
The design which bases on many straight lines seems simple, or too plain even at its first glance; yet this beautiful artistic penmanship that encompasses the aesthetic of the Japanese in the Edo era, also known as “Iki”, and playfulness has long been inherited to this day, thanks to the masteries’ long years of efforts in training and refinement.

Kakuji with its simplicity and depth is used for designs such as trademark, hanko stamp, family crest and signboard.
