first, Japanese characters are influenced by Chinese culture

Japan is an oriental country with a long history. But in ancient Japan, there was no written language of its own. Influenced by geographical conditions, Chinese characters were introduced into Japan through North Korea. For a long time, Japanese have used Chinese characters as a carrier to spread ideas and express emotions. Later, the Japanese made choices on the basis of Chinese characters and created their own characters. The Japanese characters of the national standard details sample tested by relevant industries are composed of kanji and kana. Japanese characters are greatly influenced by Chinese culture.

Second, the development and innovation of Japanese calligraphy fonts

in the 1950s, Japanese calligraphy art was influenced by Bauhaus' idea and other abstract art schools, and produced an avant-garde calligraphy form, also known as "Mohist School". It created a new generation of Japanese calligraphy art and injected new vitality into the traditional calligraphy art form. In order to enable Japanese packaging products to enter the international market and participate in competition, and to meet the consumption needs of the new generation of mobile mobile mobile weights, designers have integrated new calligraphy fonts into modern packaging design, bringing a new visual experience to modern packaging design. Designers pay more attention to the innovative changes of calligraphy fonts, and create and design them as graphic elements. It can not only show the brand name and product name of goods, but also show the cultural connotation of goods to consumers. Japan has creators who specially design calligraphy fonts for commodity packaging. They emphasized that while drawing on and absorbing advanced western design concepts, they also paid attention to exploring and carrying forward traditional calligraphy art forms, and worked hard to achieve the combination and coordination of internationalism and nationality. Therefore, the calligraphy fonts of Japanese packaging have a variety of style characteristics. For example, in a Japanese noodle food package, the word "female" is written naturally and smoothly, with vivid charm, which is very in line with the attribute characteristics of goods, with the external sense of form of noodle food, full of personality and interest. Calligraphy font is both product name and graphics, with rhythmic beauty and dynamic. The packaging design of Japanese Suntory Pure Malt Whisky enlarges the calligraphy font "" with close-up, giving people a loud sense of cry. The use of contrast is just right.

In the design process, designers pursue the overall formal beauty of fonts all the time. Every word and line strives to show artistic features such as contrast, harmony, balance and rhythm. Really make books. Density is consistent with density, while deficiency and reality correspond. Reflect the design concept and personalized characteristics.

The explanatory text is arranged in a standardized way, and the whole design highlights the noble, elegant, simple and fashionable design style of the commodity. In the packaging of some flavor snacks and convenience foods, the text arrangement is rich, and the performance effect of lively, jumping and dynamic is pursued. The designer first arranges the main text in the best vision area, and the secondary explanatory text is arranged in a smaller part or space in turn.

The wave of humanized design swept the world. Japan pays more attention to humanized design in packaging design. Commodities are diversified and personalized. Designers attach importance to the text design in decoration design, emphasizing the aesthetic and cultural nature of text design. In font design, I like to use handwritten calligraphy fonts instead of computer standardized words. Pursue the artistic effect of bold and unrestrained calligraphy font and splashing ink; Pursue the beauty of white and vigorous fonts in the rapid movement of ink. There is a relaxed, natural and humanistic mood between the lines, which makes people appreciate the deep cultural connotation and achieve a poetic and picturesque artistic conception.

They are monotonous and monotonous, lacking vividness and diversity. Now Japanese designers pay more and more attention to the personalization of character design and the nationalization of design
