KANJI PRINT SERIES

Going back to Çuval roots through burlap and fabric, Kanji Print Series first started as a home project in 2020 during quarantine with materials on hand, heartfelt passion in silk screen printing and the help of a local artisan close by Çuval Shop in Arnavutköy. 

Kanji /ˈkandʒi/ noun. A system of Japanese writing using Chinese characters. 

In ancient Chinese  paper was so rare that people stenciled kanji onto thin, rectangular strips of wood. The Japanese language had no written form at the time Chinese characters were introduced, and texts were written and read only in Chinese. 

Kanji are also called mana (真名, "true name, true character").
