This is how to draw the character "Ha". It is composed of three strokes.
- The first stroke is a downward, then swings up as the brush drags toward the second stroke.
- The second stroke is across.
- The third stroke is down, ending in a closkwise loop.
- With two dots (called nigori) it becomes "Ba". A circle (called maru) makes it "Pa".
- Be careful to note the differences between Ha
, Ke
, and Ho
.
