It is believed that kanji were invented in China around three thousand years ago. At this time there was no paper, so characters were carved onto turtle shell and animal bones using a knife. This style of writing is called 甲骨文字 (kokotsumoji – fortune telling bone writing).https://calligraphybyvicky.co.uk/2025/11/20/an-introduction-to-japanese-calligraphy-by-my-teacher/

About #Shodō (Japanese calligraphy)
Kanji were first created to communicate with the gods. Fortune tellers wrote kanji on animal bones, and threw them. Then the fortune tellers told leaders what to do, based on the way the animal bones landed. So this was a way of receiving instructions from the gods. This is how kanji first developed.

Sullo sfondo, il composto kandô 感動 "commozione".
'Kan' è il logogramma di kanjô (sentimento), kanji (sensazione), mentre il secondo logogramma 'dô' vuol dire moto, movimento, sommovimento.La nostra parola "emozione" deriva dal latino emovere = ex- (fuori) + movere (muovere).
L'emozione è un modo integrale del vivente di sentirsi vivere in una situazione per la quale "ne va di sé" ed invita a muoversi, a prendere una posizione rispetto a sé, al mondo o agli altri.
