I decided to go for a simple one for today, but weirdly, the 草書 version seems more complicated than the others…

I was looking through my book today and this one jumped out at me for some reason. No idea why…

Well, it’s 12:40, which officially makes it Sunday, so I thought I’d get on early with today’s character. The reason I chose this one is that I’ve been out with friends tonight (not drinking this time!) and i thought, ‘wow, I don’t usually stay out this late… it’s pretty dark isn’t it?’ and so that’s how you ended up with this character for today. Goodnight!

I drew this on another thread the other day and didn’t get the 楷書 version right, so I decided to put that right today.
I thought the second stroke was supposed to be a bit higher up than the second. Good work today!

OK, so here’s one you don’t see very often! A very interesting character that is hardly used these days.

Well, this was obviously going to be the character for today. It’s the spring equinox and we all get a day off work. It always feels like a relief at this time of year since the weather starts warming up and the various blossoms start to come out. Trust me… I won’t be saying this in two or three months…

OK, so various things were decided today, which made me go for this one, but I really messed up the 草書 version!
I hope all were good decisions!
The 草書 version looks nice, balanced and dynamic. It is a two-stroke character in 草書 down from the 7 strokes 楷書 one, right? The only thing that looks suspicious is the ink dot and the bottom of the page.

A bit of a morbid one today, but I just got back home from a funeral, so I thought this one was strangely appropriate. I couldn’t quite get the 楷書 version balanced right…

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you the reason that I’m fed up today…
Ha! I came here to post a related kanji that I like a lot because of how easy it is to remember:
I think しずく is more commonly spelled 滴 but that’s no fun.

The bad weather from yesterday continued today. The drives to and from work were a little scary…
Wow, look at that! You could get lost writing that kanji…like you could get lost in the fog…
I shamefully confess that 務 is one of my leeches. I always mix up the right-hand side with that of 解. It’s not even that similar, I think I just learned them at the same time. In fact it’s almost certainly that, I just checked and they’re both at the same WaniKani level.
It’s annoying though, because they’re pretty common kanji.
