FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




Japanese sake barrel fonts Article by Kyoko for Ping Mag in 2005 on the letters found on sake barrels, all dating back to the Edo era, and thus called edo-moji. The characters with swooshy wind-blown endings are called hige-moji (hige is a whisker). The most frquent character is the ultra-black one, naturally called sumo-moji. The more subtle Kanteiryu is designed from the image of a female Kabuki character.
