It seems like some older versions of kanji, and very stylistic. They're from the early parts of the "hero" section of the muramasa visual novel. I just want to know what kanji these are.
>>1565066the one on top is just a regular hiragana お ("o")
>>1565066>>1565071wait no it's a ね ("né")
>>1565071wait are you serious?>>1565072I don't think sosomeone on /jp/ said it was 神氣, thoughts?
Your best best is to ask in the Japanese thread on /int/, this is a bit too hard for your average JP-speaking weeb to understand.
>>1565139I'll try /int/ thanks, I tried /jp/'s japanese daily and forgot about int.
The first one is definitely おThis stylish writing is known as japanese calligraphy and these can deviate a lot. For example in this pic this is sake 酒Unfortunately I do not know exactly what the bottom one is. It kind of looks like either 聿 or maybe 隶 but the three dots in the bottom right and the one on top confuses me.
>>1565146The shape looks like お but I don't think it can be お as judging from the picture the first strokes go similar to ね. How the second stroke ends (though it can be just writing style) and that extra stroke on top mean that it's not ね either though. This being ye olde calligraphy, I'd even think the first one might not even be kana altogether. Surely you'd write the お prefix as 御 when writing something so old/pretentious. Sadly I'm not proficient enough to guess which symbols these really are.
>>1565146hmm, i hear you and thanks for the reply but that sake really looks like the normal sake character but the op image i posted doesn't really look like お imo. thank you for your answer.
it looks like something that AI shits out, sorry
>>1565066I browsed here by complete chance and I'm like one of the rare specific people who could get this one wow. It's Amitabha Buddha's seed syllable HRIH: https://visiblemantra.org/hrih.htmlIt seems to be mixed with a kanji though, or is a particular contraction that I have never seen.The Shingon and Tendai schools of Japanese Buddhism use siddham script sanskrit letters for esoteric reasons. Siddham specifically because they got their transmission of Esoteric Buddhism from Medieval India through Tang era China.
>>1565173Holy shiet, based as fuck!!! thanks anon.That makes sense. And it's a really cool lesson. Thanks again.Although, personally I feel like it's some scribbly japanese calligraphy, some of these can get super scribbly. so i'm curious if anyone knows what japanese kanji they are as well (but it definitely seems to come from amitabha buddha's letters!!!!! 100%)
>>1565066Update, I sent a request to JAST USA and nitroplus via their site forms, maybe I'll be able to share their responses in a few days.
