Overview

This is a small composition notebook for Japanese, Hiragana, Kanji or Katakana handwriting. Genkoyoshi paper has columns of squares to write or practice your Hiragana, Kanji or Katakana handwriting. Each large square can hold one Japanese character and is divided into four quadrants to guide the correct positioning of the elements of the character. All the lines in this book are in dark grey, instead of pure black, so the lines are less distracting when you take notes and when you re-read them later. Genkoyoshi paper is useful for children or adults who are learning the Japanese language. It is traditional to write top to bottom, right to left, but some people prefer writing horizontally. It's a great tool for anyone learning cursive writing or script writing or looking to improve their handwriting. Size 7 x 10 Inches, 100 Pages. Cover: Matt with Japanese pattern / design. The modern Japanese writing system uses a combination of logographic kanji, which are adopted Chinese characters, and syllabic kana. Kana itself consists of a pair of syllabaries: hiragana, used primarily for native or naturalised Japanese words and grammatical elements, and katakana, used primarily for foreign words and names, loanwords, onomatopoeia, scientific names, and sometimes for emphasis. Almost all written Japanese sentences contain a mixture of kanji and kana. Because of this mixture of scripts, in addition to a large inventory of kanji characters, the Japanese writing system is often considered to be one of the most complicated in use anywhere in the world.
