Nothing (Sosho)

by Nao

na-i, na-kusu, mu, bu

This style is called so sho, which is more cursive than gyōsho. As for the basic information about this character, see the kaisho style of this character here.

Let me add some words to the list of compounds. Although the Japanese title of the novel, Les Misérables, is a a mujō, mujō implies cruelty. Mugei means to have accomplished nothing. Mugei tai shoku is a person who has accomplished nothing but eats a lot. Ta gei wa mugei is almost equivalent to the saying, “Jack of all trades, and master of none.”

When you change the direction of each stroke, change the face of the brush you put on the paper.
