Description This is a Hiragana chart I drew by hand. This is one of the simplest writing styles of the Japanese language. It's what's taught to grade school kids.
Every character represents a syllable. It's actually a rather efficient writing system. Rather then building the language around each and every letter. The language is based on syllables.

That tends to happen when you scan out of a large hardback notebook.

If I ever get a graphic tablet I probably could make a new graph from sketch. It would also make for good practice.

Actually these are the proper order of the characters.

Sorry, I meant to compare with your Katakana Chart. I looked at them and they're placed in this way, but when I looked closer, I noticed the hiragana and katakana characters were enlarged depending on the chart.

Most welcome...I feel stupid for asking.. I was born under the Chinese zodiac, Dragon.. an I wanted to get the Kanji[sp?] of that on my arm... along with 'Lustful'
Which would go first?.. or is this a dumb question?

Well, these aren't kanji. China and Japan use the same Kanji characters, but they use them differently. One character in Japan could mean something different in China
