Learning 行書、草書 - mottles - 2011-10-27
Does anyone know of any dictionaries which have examples of what certain characters look like in 行書 or 草書? I've seen a couple sites that teach the basics of how to write a few radicals in cursive, but I've never found them intuitive enough to be sure if I could guess at how the cursive form of a certain character would look.

Books probably exist, but I think really what it might come down to is knowing the proper stroke order. From that you just keep your pen down near the paper and write fast. Bam cursive. English cursive was brought about in much a similar fashion really, I think.

There are lots of shodo dictionaries that'll show the forms. I don't have enough background to recommend one in particular, but I can take a look at the ones I have. If you want to learn how to do calligraphy properly, I'd recommend finding a teacher, though.

I don't know any of the top of my, but I will take a look for you at my local bookstore for you. I think a book that teaches the fundamentals of writing in 行書 or 草書. However, any book that I find and recommend will be only in Japanese.

I'm a little confused on what the OP is asking for. Do you want to be able to read other people's Japanese handwriting? Do you want to write your own cursive forms in a way that other Japanese people can read? Do you want to do 書道?

Unfortunately I have forgotten the title, but there is a book that presents the Joyo kanji in japanese, korean and chinese, with many differrent scripts (handwriting included)...
