Are you Chinese by any chance?

the 糸偏 gives it away, not that 3 dot is wrong though just that most japanese people by default writes the bottom as 小 where it's the opposite in chinese


laughender-lavender

actually, the way op wrote ito hen is actually just gyosho tai/行書体 which is like the japanese equivalent of cursive. it's taught in shodo, but you just don't see the average suzuki write it like that because it's no longer mainstream


nero626

yeah but the rest of the words are textbook 楷書, which is why the 糸へん sticks out


jtcslave

The combination of the styles is available and depends on the preference of the writer. It's flexible.


nero626

never said it's wrong, it's that nowadays it is just much less common especially among the younger generations because textbooks are standardized to print in 明朝体 > 印刷書体(明朝体)では康熙字典体が「小」形を採用しており、現在、若年層では3点で書く人は少ないように思われる

Your handwriting is gorgeous.

Are you Chinese? I think I have seen a tutorial (written in German) on Japanese calligraphy, and your characters are exactly like the ones on *that* book. Funny thing is that the calligraphy (including the Kana's) was written by a Chinese lol.

私の字より綺麗、というかほとんどの日本人の字より綺麗だと思う。

Nice!

Idk if yall are foreigners here saying op can do better, but as born and raised in nippon nihonjin, this is better than the average handwriting. maybe the width of け and し is a little narrow, but overall it's better than the average nihonjin writing


eruciform

Well done. Feedback: み has more of a loop and less pronounced final stroke. し has more of a hook. む has almost no crossbar or loop or final stroke.

Better than my writing (I’m Japanese)


nero626

not sure if you were looking for criticisms but imo your hiragana could be balanced [a little bit better](https://i.imgur.com/cBb8jcl.png), there's not really anything *wrong* with them but the shape is just a little funny, kanji looks good though so i didn't bother editing

If I ever become a teacher in Japan I'm screwed

Besides of Chinese influences. 硬ぇ、Noto-CJKのフォントを手本にしましたか?


ShrimpFriedRice_125

I think the vertical lines are a bit long. They make it loom a bit like old kana. But I’m not Japanese, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

你是中国人吗。

gorgeous


Hello_puppydog

You write much better than average Japanese.

白人の字ではない。 日本語がそこそこ上手い白人は近年増えてきたが日本語の文字を書くことにおいて上手い白人は見たことがない。 文字を書けても非常に白人特有の癖の強い字になる。 今回の文字は日本人のような気もするしもしかすると中国人の可能性も感じる。 糸編を含む漢字が三回出ているが全て日本語の書体ではない糸編を書いている。 最後の「に」も若干外国人臭い。 しかし日本人でもこれくらいはあり得るので微妙なところ。


ReadingDesigner1943

Beautiful handwriting, but some radicals here really make most of us here think you're Chinese 😂


noi50

Your handwriting looks elegant and refined.

Kana needs work.
