Japanese kanji love

The Japanese kanji for love ai includes the kanji for heart in the middle.

In the West we always associate the heart with love, and as we can see Japanese and Chinese also associate the kanji love with feelings.

Many times the symbols of East and West are quite different, even opposite. For instance, for us wearing a black color is a sign of mourning, but Asian wear black in funeral services.

Not this time. Regarding universal love we all seem to feel the same, I'd say, Thank God!

Here you can find a wonderful Japanese calligraphy of love mounted as a hanging scroll in the traditional Asian way with beautiful silk brocade.
