寿 【ことぶき】 kotobuki "congratulations!", "long life!"

So with Photoshop finally up and running again, I took my feet out of the picture and cleaned up the messiness in general. Oh, and turned the whole thing the right direction, since I took the pictures backwards and sideways.
The character was written in a script form, which is why it doesn't really look even vaguely like the character when typed. But the brush weighs something around 20 pounds, I think, and was dripping all over. There were puddles of ink in places that could've filled an entire normal-sized sumi bottle.

寿 【ことぶき】  kotobuki (n) congratulations!, long life!, (P)

And two other words, so you can see why kanji often make no sense.

恵比寿 【えびす】 ebisu (n) The God of Wealth, (P)
寿喜焼 【すきやき】  sukiyaki (n) (food) thin slices of beef, cooked with
   various vegetables in a table-top cast-iron
   pan, sukiyaki
