Genkoyoushi (原稿用紙) is the traditional Japanese manuscript paper used for writing hiragana, katakana, and kanji characters. Each page features a grid of boxes, typically 200 or 400 per page, arranged in vertical columns read from right to left. This format is standard in Japanese education, essay writing, and literature — helping writers maintain proper character size, spacing, and column alignment.
All paper types support A4, A5, A3, Letter, Legal, and Tabloid sizes in both portrait and landscape orientation. Adjust spacing, line weight, and colors to fit your needs, then download or print directly from your browser.
