This is how to draw the character "Shi". It is composed of three strokes.
- The first stroke is a short diagonal from upper left to lower right.
- The second stroke is also a short, left to right diagonal.
- The third stroke is an upward arc from left to right.
- With two dots (called nigori) it becomes "Ji".
- Please note the difference in stroke placement and direction between
Shi and
Tsu.
