Japanese Writing Practice Book: Learn to Write Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji - Character Handwriting Sheets with Square Grids (Ideal for JLPT and AP Exam Prep)

I bought this for my husband and he loves it! He said it is really helpful with spacing, and gives a good guidance in the writing of hiragana and katakana. I'm glad I got this for him.

I bought this because I’m learning Japanese, it’s super easy to use for practice.

i was hoping for something i could use to practice my kanji with and this fit the bill exactly. i like that it has a stroke order review at the front and then the rest is basically a blank practice journal, with lined pages on one side and boxes on the other.

See photos and pros/cons below I'm impressed with this book but it's not exactly what I thought I was getting, so just read this before you purchase. It has more than just the kanji squares for practicing. At the beginning it has a brief paragraph on how to draw strokes in Japanese, and then it has a few pages of hiragana/kana, kanji lists to practice. In the back of the book it has 100 most frequently used word lists for these writing systems, too. I found these added features really helpful to me as a beginner, but if you don't need it, then it's just extra info occupying pages you paid for practice writing. Each page has two different sides. The front side has the kanji squares for practice writing. The back has your college ruled type horizontal (side to side) lines, like a journal notebook. I also wasn't expecting this. I thought it was just kanji squares for practicing. However, I also found this very helpful. I practice on the kanji in the kanji squares, then when feeling more confident, I go to the page next to it and practice without the "training wheels" on the horizontal lines. When it comes to writing sentences, if you prefer writing top to bottom, you can spin the book so the lines are now facing vertically (up and down) so you can write from top to bottom. I typically use a lead pencil, but I did try out an ultra fine sharpie for sake of the review, because I write with sharpies a lot and they are notorious for bleeding through papers. With FIRM pressure, the sharpie does bleed through on the pressure spots where you stop writing in one direction and pivot to go the next direction, but it's not excessive. The pages are durable and thicker than a college-ruled notebook page, more like a journal notebook page. The pages are smooth and enjoyable to write on. PROS -Provides horizontal lines AND kanji practice squares for writing -Provides Brief overview how to write strokes -Provides hiragana/kana/kanji practice which also shows stroke order -Provides most frequently used word list in back of the book for kanji characters -Pages are thick, smooth, and a nice quality. Pens don't bleed through easily. (see photos) -The kanji practice squares do not fill the page. They are written horizontally (side to side), and when you go down to begin the next line, there is a small space between the squares. It's really nice not just seeing a page of lines, making it hard to look at for extended periods of practice. If you want to write vertically, just spin the book so the lines are facing vertically instead. -Great price for the quality CONS -Of 127 pages, about 110 of them are for writing practice, and HALF of those are kanji practice squares -Printed in Malaysia (I don't mind, but if you prefer natively made materials, look elsewhere) If the review was helpful, please THUMBS UP, thanks!

Looks very neat

My son seems to really like this book.

Great for learning Japanese at my own pace

This book is high quality. However there is only one practice page that shows you the steps with partly opaque print so you can trace over it. It has common kanji, hiragana, and katakana, along with some explanations of grammar. It has many blank pages for practice. Overall this is perfect for someone who is more comfortable with their stroke order.

友達がとても気に入ってくれました。毎日勉強しています。アマゾンは人の為に役立っています。迅速な対応ありがとうございました。

An excellent book for my grandson who is learning Japanese. There are plenty of tips on how to write and practice sheets.

As described and came the next day, corner was slightly bent as wasn’t in a plastic sleeve however still fine to use.

Buen material para practicar escritura

The sheet quality is good and writing system is also nice ( they give us Arrow that show you how write this character and they give us 40-50 pages to write anything) I am already learn Japanese and I say this book is worth of money.
