Katakana is one of the three scripts in Japanese writing, along with hiragana and kanji. It is mainly used for writing foreign words, names of plants and animals, technical terms, and sometimes to emphasize certain words, similar to italics or bold in Western texts. Because it is often used for foreign words, katakana is often found in modern Japanese culture, such as in fashion, technology, and marketing. For us at Genki Amsterdam, we use katakana script to stylishly and strikingly incorporate modern elements into our art. A beautiful handmade Katakana is a beautiful piece of art for your wall and makes every room in your home special.
