Thank you for viewing! This is a practice book filled with concrete guides and points for practicing penmanship. In addition to practicing hiragana and kanji one character at a time, you can also practice phrases and layouts that can be used for weddings and New Year's cards, as well as names and prefectures! It's thin and soft, so it seems easy to write with. There are no noticeable folds or yellowing on the book, but because it's soft, there are some slight wrinkles and scratches. (See photos 9 and 10) Thank you. You can use it without any problems for writing! We will ship anonymously, so please rest assured (*´꒳`*)
