Wow. I’d love a closeup of one of those letters to see the pen quality.

Awesome, thanks! Was this done with a calligraphy pen?

I really like the flourish at the midpoint of the G’s curve. Hell, it’s all beautiful.

Jon, I use a brush pen purchased in Japan town here in SF. I wish I could read kanji and tell you the manufacturer name.
