This is a new set of characters called "meragana" created by mera takeru, me.
Each square represents a meragana character and its pronunciation.
There are 46 in total.
I created these as an update of "hiragana" that we use every day in Japan.
I have abandoned readability in exchange for a more pleasing appearance.
I don't think any Japanese person can tell what is written here by just seeing my work.
Here is how it works.
When you read the QR code, a table appears, and by comparing this work with what is shown on the table, most Japanese people should be able to make out what is written.
Why did I make such a roundabout way of reading the sentences?
Well, I thought, in this way, I could make the meaning of the sentences much more profound than it would be when the sentences were written in ordinary hiragana.
Because it is so hard to read, you not only understand it, but also you'd get a sense of accomplishment.
Currently, the total Japanese population is on a downward trend, and the Cabinet Office has published a forecast that in 100 years, the population will be reduced to one-third of its current size.
Someday there will not be a single Japanese person left.
Who will have this work then?
It says here, "We were born to be happy."
