Reliable in Japanese kanji is which is read shinrai. The Japanese word shinrai also translates as "trustworthy; faithful; confident" and is composed of the kanji shin meaning "truth; trust; faith; fidelity" and rai meaning "trust; request". This design reminds us that reliability is a quality we seek in others and what we strive for in ourselves.

Japanese is most commonly written vertically though it is perfectly correct to write it horizontally from left to right. Japanese also has many fonts with Block (kaisho) being the most common. The true artistry of Japanese Calligraphy, however, comes from the almost infinite possibilities of the Semi-Cursive (gyousho) and Cursive (sousho) scripts.
