Overview

While learning kanji, it's common practice to write the character over and over again to get the stroke order firmly ingrained in the student's brain. That's how Japanese children learn to write hundreds of Chinese characters from when they start elementary school. By the time they leave high school, they will have filled hundreds of genkouyoushi notebooks like this until they can read and write around 2000 kanji characters! This traditional Japanese manuscript paper has columns of squares. Unlike some other genkoyoshi paper out there, each square is divided into 4 quadrants. These gridlines help guide the correct positioning of the elements of each character. In Japan, it is used for vertical writing but it can, of course, be used for horizontal writing if you wish. The simple grid layout really helps students to learn correct spacing when writing vertically. Balance and space is extremely important to Japanese people, even in their handwriting! The columned pages have space between the columns where you can write the furigana for the kanji in the boxes Both sides of the cover have the same graphics, so you can use the notebook in either direction, left to right or right to left Includes full-page stroke order charts of hiragana & katakana characters Suitable for beginners, intermediate and advanced students of Japanese, Korean, or Chinese U.S. Letter size format (8.5 x 11 inches 21.59 x 27.94 cm) Makes a great addition to any Japanese Language course work. Perfect gift for yourself, your fellow school or college classmates, language students or language teachers.
