KANJI NOTE

Stroke Order

It is important that you write kanji following the prescribed stroke order. There are three reasons for this:

your handwriting will look better, the shape of the kanji will not be distorted when you write fast, and if you

practice the correct order enough to make it automatic, you will not accidentally leave strokes out when you

write. Here are the basic rules of stroke order.

1. Write from top to bottom.

three

Related Principle: when a kanji consists of an upper and a lower part, the upper part is written first.

Related Principle: when a kanji consists of a left and a right part, or a left, a middle, and a right part,

write in the order of left, middle, right.

two strokes each, the middle part is written first.
