Study Notes

Genkō Yōshi (Squared Paper) Rules

There are eleven rules when writing on squared paper
Rules apply to both vertical and horizontal writing
Write neatly so that the teacher/examiner can read your writing
The title goes on the first line, leaving the first 3-4 squares blank
The writer's name goes at the end of the second line
Start writing from the second square
Full stops and commas need one square each - they should be at the bottom left for horizontal writing, top right for vertical writing
Small や, ゆ, よ, and つ are written the same as the full stops and commas
Begin a new line for each dialogue. Leave one square blank
In dialogue, the full stop goes in the same square as the quotation mark
A new paragraph starts with one square blank
If a sentence ends at the end of the line, the full stop goes in the same square as the last character
This also applies to commas
If a quotation ends at the end of the line, the full stop goes in the same square as the last character
No spaces are to be left between words, but commas should be used like in English to make sentences understandable
