"Hatsu" Japanese Kanji Tattoo Design

In Japanese culture "Hatsu" meaning “to launch, to let fly, to set in motion”. Carries the same quiet power as striking a match or lighting incense. That single spark transforms an ordinary moment into ritual: the air stills, intention settles, and inward clarity meets outward action.

"Hatsu" is kinetic calm a motion whose goal is stillness, uniting external energy with inner purpose.

1. Ignite & Elevate
    "Hatsu" sparks fresh beginnings projects, ideas, relationships then lifts them upward. You’re not just starting. You’re launching.

2. Unleash Hidden Potential
    Like an arrow released from a bow, "Hatsu" frees talent that’s been quietly gathering strength. The moment of release is the moment of true power.

3. Prosper & Share the Light
    "Hatsu" channels that vibe: success that radiates outward, enriching everyone in its path.

4. Steadfast Intention
    A deliberate launch needs aim. "Hatsu" anchors you to purpose, ensuring your momentum stays aligned with your deepest values.
