120px|right|thumb| Henohenomoheji ( ) or hehenonomoheji () is a face known to be drawn by Japanese schoolchildren using hiragana characters. It became a popular drawing during the Edo period.
==Composition== The word breaks down into seven hiragana characters: he (), no (), he (), no (), mo (), he (), and ji (). The first two he are the eyebrows, the two no are the eyes, the mo is a nose, and the last he is the mouth. The outline of the face is made by the character ji, its two short strokes (dakuten) forming the ear or cheek.
