The Kanji Master

The Kanji Master

After a great bowl of Ramen in Kitakata I stopped off to visit a Kanji Master.   I haven’t never been to a Kanji Master before so I didn't know what to expect... Today's Configuration: Leica M9-P with a Nocitlux 50mm f/0.95 and a Ricoh GR

The first kanji is Kai from 3,200 years ago.  It initially meant deep dark lake.   Later it migrated to ocean and ending on deep far reaching ocean about 2,500 years ago.
