Do not ink this

Another two-nouns-stapled-together translation. The real phrase already exists.

What a Japanese person actually thinks

Reads like the title of a civics textbook chapter. Completely inert.

Meaning

Literally
freedom + spirit
Actually
Parseable as 'a spirit of freedom' — but as a description of a person it doesn't work. It sounds like the name of a policy platform.

Scores

Naturalness●●●●●

Nobody says this. The established yojijukugo for 'free spirit' is right there and it's better in every way.

Coolness●●●●●

None. It's four characters of nothing.

Watch out

Nothing embarrassing lurking in here.

Get this instead

  • jiyū honpō
    free and unrestrained; doing as one pleases
    The actual established phrase. Same four-character density, and it genuinely describes a person.
  • fūraibō
    a wanderer; someone who drifts where the wind takes them
    If you mean free as in untied rather than free as in unrestricted. Warm, slightly romantic, very human.
