I voted for the other guy, but now I’m conflicted and just decided to vote for you too even though I know the other guy is technically correct

That averages to not rotating it at all, which seems to be correct.

Vote here for right side up

Can I vote for rotate 90° counter-clockwise? I know it's objectively wrong, but I also think it looks the nicest.

I'm tempted to tell her this is the answer just for shits and giggles

Right side up.

Thanks! Is that the same kanji? they look so different.

My wife is from Osaka, Japan. She read it as that kanji, so I'm trusting her 😆

Edit: This page has an image of the same kanji (Michi) that looks more like the one posted. https://www.towofu.net/soft/e-kanji.htm

That's the one I thought of as well. Additionally, the signature is correct in this orientation.

Oh haha then I'm sure its right!

Generally when you have "dots" like the ones you see on the top, the thinner side of the brush stroke starts at the top. (道)

I think the photo shows the picture in the correct direction. If not, well, it happens to the best...

Loool I will use this the next time I want to bash abstract art

It's definitely the right way up.
