writing kanji on ruled paper - madigan82 - 2007-08-06
I've just started (and suprised that I've remembered the first 20). I try writing the kanji on normal notebook paper and for the first set it was simple. But when I got to 吾 and 冒, I realized that my college ruled paper is just too small to write them large enough for me to read. I can see that after a while one would get used to writing them that small but I need to write them large enough that I can read them. 日 and 目 look really similar when they are writen small (at least in my hand writing). Do Japanese students use a wider ruled paper then I'm used to or should I just ignore the lines on the paper and write really large?

Graph paper is what you really want. All the kanji are designed to be writen inside squares. It's all about balance (or something!).
There was a link on here a while back to a website where you could just print of graph paper, I'll see if I can find it...
Edit: That was easy!

that grid application is amazing. as I get better, I can adjust the paper to smaller blocks. thanks a bunch matt.

and I went looking through that sight john and it helped seeing the progression of paper from huge blocks down to normal sized paper.
