Tegaki Tuesday

[手]{て}[書]{が}きの[火]{か}[曜]{よう}[日]{び}

Latest challenge #{{< current >}}

Welcome to the Tegaki Tuesday website!

Tegaki Tuesday is a weekly Japanese/English handwriting challenge that happens every, you guessed it, Tuesday. For each challenge, a short passage along with its translation is selected from a haiku, the lyrics of a song, or a passage from a book, and posted to this site.

Then, it's your job to handwrite (either physically or on a graphics tablet) the challenge either in Japanese and/or English. Please do your target language first!
