Hi there,
I recently read a book (written by Mifune) in which I found a picture of 3 Handwritten Kanji. Although I was unable to decipher them, I'd like to know if anyone here knows the "Printed Version" of the Kanji?
You can see the Picture @ the attachments(sorry for the size and the waterwarks..).
As you can see the Kanji should mean Emptiness, Devotion and Sublimeness.
Who knows the Kanji?
Thanks (and sorry for my bad English skills..),
nuschi

Christ thats messy..
From what I know, Japanese letters are learnt and ( supposed to be) written with the traditional calligraphy, however the simplified/printed versions cut off the little dashes and made them look much more simple.

I guess this guy just had crap writing for a japanese, or it may be some rare kanji seeing there are like 15,000 of them
 
Judging from the comments on the photo, it seems to have been written by Kyuzo Mifune, a great master of judo.

The one on the left looks like 妙
The one on the bottom could be 精進 but I'm not quite sure.
I have no idea about the one on the right top.
 
Judging from the meaning it's supposed to convey, and the general shape, I'd say the top right is 無. I'd say 精進 is a good guess for the bottom one. I really don't have a clue about the top left one.
