Kanji (漢字, pronounced [kaɲdʑi] are the adopted Chinese characters that are used in the Japanese writing system.   The Japanese term kanji for the Chinese characters literally means "Han* characters". * East asian ethnic group  

In ancient Chinese  paper was so rare that people stenciled kanji onto thin, rectangular strips of wood. These wooden boards were used for communication between government offices, tags for goods transported between various countries, and the practice of writing. 

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").

Other than 4 options above I have red stripe fabric at hand as well.

note: some bags can have a slight difference on their straps as I will have fun playing around mix matching. Also, the character of your choice will be manually hand printed by me so you might have to appreciate some artist mistakes :)

Small Kanji Tote is also available without lining and will soon be on Sample Sale. Stay tuned for more updates coming @cuvalistanbul !
