Genkouyoushi is a traditional manuscript paper for Japanese writing. It is especially useful to students for practice or formal assignments. Each page is printed with vertical columns of squares, with each square designed to accommodate a single Japanese character or punctuation mark. Unlike other Genkouyoushi, our notebook may be used with any type of writing instrument (pencil, pen or ink brush) with or without a shitajiki (under-sheet) and each template square allows for correct spacing of characters to fit one kanji, hiragana or katakana. A perfect tool to learn Japanese writing.
