The Key to Beautiful Handwriting is the "Right" Side (Center of Gravity) ~Even though I wrote it slanting upwards to the right...~

"Write horizontal strokes in kanji slanting upwards to the right."
This is the very first rule of handwriting
that appears in textbooks.

Even though it is called slanting upwards to the right,
it is actually quite profound,
and it does not mean you should do it for everything.

It is correct that characters should "slant upwards to the right,"
but if you write everything slanting upwards to the right,
it will end up looking terrible.

If you have an aesthetic sense,
even without knowing this rule,
you would naturally try to balance it at the bottom right.

But in the end,
rules will always win when it comes to handwriting.

You do not need talent,
you do not need a sense for it,

handwriting becomes beautiful through logic.
That is why anyone can have beautiful handwriting.

There is no need to memorize
how to write over 2,000 kanji characters.
If you learn the rules
common to all kanji,
you can easily acquire permanently beautiful handwriting.
