YOUR NAME IN KANJI

Your name,
read like a spirit.

Somewhere between sound and meaning, your name holds a story. We read it — and stitch it in kanji onto a towel woven slowly in Imabari, Japan.

— THE READING —

Not a translation.
A reading.

Anyone can look up symbols. A reading is different: every kanji we choose can be read aloud as your name — sound first, without exception — while its meaning is chosen for who you are: your passions, your temperament, your own words.

舞
MAI
to dance — grace in motion
蹴
KERU
to kick — swift, certain intent
舞蹴
MICHAEL
a spirit who turns sport into art
A READING, AS IT ARRIVES
是紫花
JESSICA · ジェシカ · ZE-SHI-KA
SHE TOLD US: CREATIVE · LOVES YOGA · “I DO THINGS MY OWN WAY”
“True Purple Blossom”

In 是 lives truth — the quiet certainty of a soul that knows itself. 紫, the purple of dusk, was once the color reserved for nobility. And 花, the blossom, opens without asking permission. Together they name a woman who blooms in her own color, honestly, and entirely.

— WHY A READING MATTERS —

Kanji is beautiful.
And easy to get wrong.

One character, many faces
A single kanji carries many meanings and a hundred shades of nuance. 安 means peace — it also means cheap. Choose by sound alone, and your name may quietly say something you never intended.
The internet chooses blindly
Machine translations pick characters that merely sound right. The world is full of T-shirts and tattoos that prove it — small mistakes, engraved for life.
A native's sensibility, always
Every KANJINAME reading is made with the instincts of a lifelong native reader: true to your sound, true to your story, and safe to wear forever.

— THE CLOTH BENEATH YOUR NAME —

Woven slowly, in Japan's towel capital.

01 — THE YARN
Fine 80-count thread, four times thinner than an ordinary towel's. It drinks water in a single second and lies featherlight against the skin.
02 — THE LOOMS
Vintage shuttle looms, running since before the war, weave at a fraction of modern speed. The yarn is never stressed — that is where the softness comes from.
03 — THE WATER
Bleached and dyed in Shikoku's pure underground spring water, to some of the strictest environmental standards in the world.
— THE TOWELS —

Four canvases for your name.
