Silence in Chinese / Japanese...

默 / 黙 means silent or silence and is often used in a Buddhist context.

Other meanings include dark, secret, or profound.

The original form is 默, but you will sometimes see it written in the 黙 Japanese variant form. If you want it in the Japanese form, please choose a Japanese calligrapher and use this to start your order instead of the button above: 黙

沉默法則 means “The Code Of Silence” or "The Rule of Silence” in Chinese.

靜 is the simplest way to convey the meaning of inner peace and serenity.

靜 is often translated as “serenity.” It can also be used to express the ideas of still, calm, serene, quiet, silent, stillness, not moving, or tranquility.

In the old days, Chinese, Japanese, or Korean people might hang a wall scroll with this character in their reading room to bring about a sense of peace in the room.

While they once used the same character form in Japan, they now use a slightly-simplified version in modern Japan (after WWII). This version is shown to the right, and can be selected for your wall scroll by clicking on that Kanji instead of the button above.
