“Authentic Kanji Tattoo Design” Now Launched
Putting an End to Mistranslated and Generic Font Kanji Tattoos Around the World
Crafort Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kanagawa, Japan; CEO: Yoshinari Kowata ), operator of KANJI TOKYO, a platform dedicated to Japanese culture and calligraphy art, has officially launched a new service:
“Authentic Kanji Tattoo Design – Custom Vector Art by Calligraphy Artist MADARA.”
This service offers fully custom-made kanji tattoo designs created by Japanese calligraphy artist MADARA (斑), who carefully listens to each client’s beliefs, values, and life philosophy before creating a one-of-a-kind artwork.
The Global Issue of “Kanji Tattoos That Have Lost Their Meaning”

kanji tattoos have long been popular overseas. However, alongside this popularity, many issues have emerged, including:
- Incorrect or misleading translations
- Word choices that ignore cultural and historical context
- Use of generic, mass-produced computer fonts
Kanji are not merely decorative symbols. They are logographic characters that embody meaning, history, culture, and spirituality.
Because tattoos are permanently engraved on the body, authenticity truly matters.
This service directly addresses these issues from the perspective of a Japanese calligraphy artist, offering kanji tattoos that combine accurate meaning with powerful artistic expression.
Single-Stroke Original Works by Calligraphy Artist MADARA

MADARA’s works are never created using commercial fonts or digital composition.
Each piece is produced through a single brushstroke, capturing the energy, rhythm, balance, and breath unique to traditional Japanese calligraphy.
Completed artworks are delivered as high-resolution data optimized for tattooing, with vector data options available,enabling tattoo artists worldwide to reproduce the design with precision.
Options to Protect Uniqueness and Authenticity

To preserve the value and integrity of each artwork, the service offers the following options:
Exclusive Usage Certificate
Guarantees that the same design will never be sold or provided to another client.
Permanent NFT Certification
Uses blockchain technology to permanently certify the artwork’s digital ownership and authenticity.
These options ensure that the design is not just a tattoo image, but a deeply personal and lifelong choice.
Free Consultation and Kanji Selection Support

Even if clients have not yet decided on specific kanji, consultations and counseling are provided free of charge.
Through careful dialogue, MADARA explores the meanings, nuances, and cultural context to propose the most appropriate kanji aligned with the client’s philosophy.
