handwriting - Texie - 2011-03-18
I was told by my Japanese friend (nicely of course) that my Kanjis look like they were written by a third-grader. I don't want to do calligraphy with a brush: I want to just learn to write them nicely with a pen. The handwritten Kanjis look different than the printed ones. Where can I get help to practice the handwritten ones?

The Yamasa site is useful for learning handwriting. Enter any kanji on this page and you'll get three versions of it as follows:
Left side: A Mincho font, typically used in newspapers
Middle: A Kyokasho (school text book) font, often used as a model for handwriting
Right side: A handwriting font
I would suggest initially copying the middle font. As you are using a pen, your strokes will be thinner of course. As you get used to writing you'll get faster and your characters will naturally become more like the font on the right.

The book "Easy kanji" by Fujihiko Kaneda (Yohan) contains a lot of handwriting examples.
The site http://daigotorena.moo.jp/lesson/bushubetsu-menu.htm seems to have a lot of interesting information (click on the green links).
Unfortunately, all in Japanese, but the pictures are useful.
By the way, a translation of those pages would be great… but still beyond my abilities.
