The Golden Rules of Stroke Order
- Top to Bottom: Draw strokes from the top of the character moving downwards.
- Left to Right: Draw strokes starting from the left side moving right.
- Horizontal before Vertical: If a horizontal stroke crosses a vertical one, usually the horizontal comes first.
Why it Matters
Following stroke order ensures your handwriting looks balanced and legible. Japanese people can often tell if you wrote a character with the wrong stroke order just by looking at the ink balance.
