¤ What does your Japanese writing look like? ¤

I thought it would be interesting to create a thread where people can post pictures of what their Japanese writing looks like.

Mine isn't very good, but I'll start it off...

Don't worry, neither is mine.

Since my camera's really crappy, I had to write the text larger than normal to get a good image. Then because it was so big I had to write the text on the long side of unlined paper to make it fit. So the image isn't exactly the size I normally write at, but you can still get the idea.

That's still really good, considering that you had to write bigger than normal!

Should we try something with a few more kanji?  How about a Haiku...

Meh, I've never been good at that 也 radical anyway.

At least you do the 込 more correct than me. I cheat.

Here, I'll give this a shot. Couldn't find a pen so had to use a marker. ugh. I hate my handwriting when I rush

Oh, and sorry they're so blurry. My camera isn't that great...

I can't read Japanese. Would you guys provide translations for your writings?

mteric

Those are cool, cleomau! The marker sort of gives your writing a calligraphy feel.

montanadaver, here's the translations:

古池や蛙飛び込む水の音
old pond / frog jumps in / sounds of water

いつか、日本へ行きたいです。
I want to go to Japan someday.
