私の好きな漢字

Indeed, as most things you like, there is never a particular reason but that you like them.

Thank you for the insight of the Japanese people relationship with kanjis. Though I know it is not the same, I have favourite words in the languages I know (and unfavourite ones!), words that I like for the sake of their sound or letter structure.

Thank you also for this one, 永 is indeed a beautiful kanji and forever will be.

I also do love 卵 (much more than 玉子, which is clarifying but not quite as compelling) and also find that possible origin funny, se non è vero, è ben trovato.

Yes, 雨 is so nice, one of those WYSIWYG kanjis, like 肉 or 羽. And it is a perfect match for 傘!

As for the pair 水-氷, would add 永 to make an everlasting freezing of water.
You oftentimes get the feeling that a lot of thought was put into devising a particular kanji in order to get to its “optimum” shape in terms of simplicity and economy.

Indeed, they both belong to that category of unkanjilike kanjis, like its cousin 回. If you put both 凸 and 凹 on top of each other as a 大工 would do you would get 口.

That they do, I also like 骨 quite much. I would include 以, which looks like a Lascaux picture of one person kicking another. You would get 以骨______滑 all Pacman style.

Indeed 鳳 is really beautiful, I didn’t know it. 教えてくれてありがとう!

I also like most kanjis that have 鳥 as the main radical: 島 (a clear example of the “optimum” shape I referred to in my answer to @Neon_Kitsune), 鴨, 嶋 or 鳴. I particularly like 烏, “bird without a line”.

It’s going to be morbid but for some reason I always liked the shape of 死. I can’t quite explain it, it’s one of the first kanji I learned to recognize and I find it very aesthetically pleasing and elegant. Vastly better than crappy 亡!

I quite like 麗 as well, it’s very memorable and it looks like a strange creature.

Indeed, 死 is somehow appealing, like to people sitting back-to-back under a stone, the one on the left with the chin on the chest, the other looking straight ahead.

I also like 麗 quite much, the beautiful deer (鹿) been observed by two pair of eyes. However, the mnemonics with which I learned this kanji is Bender’s face.

For me it’d have to be 姫
I learnt it as one of my first from Tsukihime VN title and it stuck with me.

Beautiful kanji too, the beautiful princess.

I learned it through this movie, translated as ‘The Princess Blade’, those wonderful translations, right!?

It was originally a manga as can be seen under the ’ 漫画’ section of the article. And then there were other movies prior to the 2001 one which I saw.

Somehow I tend to like kanji that contain water.
My favorite is 流: it’s fun to write, it visualizes it’s meaning perfectly and the meaning itself is also something that resonates with me.
Runner-ups: 漂、海、潮、泉、水
(Other kanji I’m fond of that don’t contain water and I can currently think of: 炎、美、霞、神)

鬱 is my spirit animal.

Fabulous. All 29 strokes of it.

as a water-kanji-connoisseur (very prestigious IMO) can i get your thoughts on the following kanji:

淹

i will be staring at my screen until you respond, ty in advance

Indeed!

Very difficult topic xD I love most of them … They are really fun to study especially if we create stories

I would say my favorite is a simple one, that is very relaxing.

• 休 Is like a human taking a small break to rest, our back against a tree
  

And of course the ones with silly stories

• 安 “The only cheap way for me to relax is when my wife is under our roof doing everything”

• 妙 “There is only a few number of exquisite women”

• (I choose some soft stories, I have a lot of nsfw ones for kanjis with the bending man 𠂉 in 傷 for example)

I also like 協 quite a bit, I think it looks cool and is sort of figurative (cooperation is multiple “forces” working together.

淵, because of

If you like 死, you might like 屍. Also has a pretty morbid meaning (corpse), but I always thought it looked pretty cool.

not a favorite but I wanted to mention 泪 because it made me laugh the first time I looked it up

淵 is a great one, I really like it because it shares the same meaning as 縁, except 淵 is a vertical ‘brink’, and 縁 is a horizontal one.
