Stroke Direction Question - Diagonal Lines - Farcear - 2011-12-19 Hi all, I have just started RTK 1. I have looked at general guidelins for kanji stroke direction (left to right / top to bottom). However, I do not know how to write the circled strokes in the kanji for FOUR and FIVE. Are the circled bits drawn top-right to bottom-left or the other way around?
