Kanji Workbook

KANJI PRACTICE WORKBOOK The Japanese art of writing kanji ((??), hiragana, or katakana characters is beautiful and precise. This notebook contains 120 sheets of genko yoshi paper, also called genkouyoushi or genkoyoshi paper (????, manuscript paper). Each sheet has 10 columns of 20 squares to practice Japanese lettering, the most common size. 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. Between consecutive columns of squares is a blank space used for writing furigana (ruby characters), boten (a type of punctuation mark used for giving emphasis) or other marks. This 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. Genko yooshi is widely used. Primary and secondary students in particular are required to hand in assignments written on genko yoshi, and essays for school entrance examinations are also written on the paper, making knowledge of the correct way to use genko yoshi essential. The paper helps students to learn correct spacing when writing vertically. It is also the main form of rule used by Taiwanese students when writing Taiwanese Mandarin, where it is called ??? (pinyin: yu?ngao zhi). In Taiwan, students use the thin vertical column to transcribe Bopomofo pronunciation. This 8" x 10" book is perfect for anyone who wants to perfect writing. Makes a great birthday or Christmas gift. DETAILS: Dimensions: 8" x 10" 120 cream colored pages Cover design is repeated pattern of Koi Fish Click brand for more Japanese books and gifts.
