Custom Non-Violence Chinese & Japanese Calligraphy Wall Scroll
We have many options to create artwork with Non-Violence characters on a wall scroll or portrait.
If you want to create a cool Non-Violence wall scroll, this is the place. Below you will find a few Asian symbols that express the idea of non-violence.
Non-Violence
非暴力 is fairly self-explanatory.
The first character means “not,” “non-,” or “un-”
The middle and last character together mean “violence,” “use of force,” or simply “violent.”
Together, these three characters would normally be translated as “nonviolence.” A great gift for your favorite peace-lover.

Antiwar / Anti-War
反戰 means antiwar, as in what a pacifist believes in.
China does plenty of saber-rattling but thankfully doesn't go to war very often, and Japan has embraced a pacifist ideology. Therefore, it's rare to need this word. However, this is the kind of word that war protesters would write on their signs.
There is a modern Japanese version of the second character which has become the standard in Japan after WWII. If you want your calligraphy written in the modern Japanese form, please click on the Kanji shown to the right instead of the button above. Note: Most Japanese and all Chinese people will recognize the form shown in the upper left.
