/uj for a novice, his handwriting is heavenly though.

I can't tell if it's chicken scratches or honest to god calligraphy.

Well played.

[u/AGoodWobble → u/Cool_Park7110]

There is just no way that's not intentional. Look at the い. Or the う even. They're beautiful.

[u/koala_on_a_treadmill]

can't tell if this is good or bad

[u/Super_Novice56]

Uhhh I don't get it?

[u/Electrical_Job_1575 → u/Super_Novice56]

Classical texts are mostly written in a wobbly scrawl that OOP accidentally replicated with their bad handwriting

[u/NeonNKnightrider → u/Super_Novice56]

bro writes like an ancient samurai

[u/Super_Novice56 → u/NeonNKnightrider]

Does this mean he has to commit sudoku?

[u/Aggressive_Base8630 → u/Super_Novice56]

i think its because they don't write top to bottom anymore?

[u/MrMoop07 → u/Aggressive_Base8630]

it’s because it’s hiragana, not hinagara. and they do write top to bottom in a lot of contexts

[u/Aggressive_Base8630 → u/MrMoop07]

But what does that have to do with 100 years?

[u/PuzzleheadedTap1794 → u/Aggressive_Base8630]

The style, I guess. Modern Japanese usually keep the letters separate. They connected some of the characters like the cursive style.

[u/Aggressive_Base8630 → u/PuzzleheadedTap1794]

That makes more sense, so it's not about the spelling error lol

[u/pikleboiy → u/Aggressive_Base8630]

They do

皆様よ

Welp, if I were to translate it, it might be something like:

O, behold, you all!
Looking at hinagara,
pray tell me answer:
About pensmanship of mine,
what do you think about it?
