For Your Best Friend
Three characters for the person who has been there longer than most relatives have.
The right gift for a best friend names what the friendship has been about — without getting sentimental about it. These three characters are the Chinese way of saying I see you without the speech.
勇 (Yǒng) — Courage / Strength
For the friend going through something hard. 勇 is not the loud kind of bravery — it is the quiet kind, the kind that gets up and keeps going. The right wish for someone in transition.
安 (Ān) — Peace
For the friend who has carried too much. 安 means peace and safe rest — a wish, in a single character, that what comes next is calmer.
福 (Fú) — Blessing
For everyday occasions or no occasion at all. 福 is the friend’s all-purpose blessing — health, comfort, family, peace — and the most universally welcome character in the Chinese tradition.
Each character is hand-brushed by Artist Lina Sun on rice paper.
