J-Runeforms
Japanese Sigil Forms

 

Note

J-Runeforms is an original symbolic system
created by StudioAsahi.
It is not based on any historical rune tradition.

 

J-Runeforms is a contemporary system of symbolic forms
derived from the structural nature of Japanese characters.

Each form functions as a visual anchor —
suggesting states, movements, or inner orientations,
rather than fixed meanings.
