Kana-moji is really Japanese style of calligraphy, I think. In Heian Period, this font was used by women. They used this font on their dairies or love letters so it is very feminine font.
This is my work of kana-moji.
I wrote waka by kana-moji. I think it is difficult to read because it is very old style and the fonts is like a kind of cursive writing in English. This waka has beautiful meaning so I like it so much.
Writing kana-moji is very difficult but it is so beautiful style.
Meaning of this waka: "May the wind uo above shut the Heavenly gate That the Aery Maiden's dance we may here longer "

Kanako, I want to suggest that you write the title caligraphically with a fude and sumi, then take a photo of it and upload it to your blog into the Title header to become your title.
