I bought these for my Classical Chinese students to practice character writing with a brush. I liked the different variety of exercises and the fact that there was also a one for free style practice. I just wish there was a traditional character option.

月並みだが、なぞり書きで何度も練習できるのが良い。 一月ほどの使用だが、筆の先がすり減るまで楽しんだ。実際に紙に書くときなぞり書きで練習した文字が無地の紙に浮き出すようにイメージできるレベルになった。 このタイプの練習帳等を学校の授業で使えていれば、もっと楽しめただろうにと感じる。 欠点は外側の紋様の面が、触るとベタツキ変な臭いがするところ。

I’ve tried several versions of these mats in Chinese class, and found this one to be one of my favorites. It is thinner and less plasticky than other mats (which makes me wonder about the long-term durability) and reminds me of rice paper. As long as the amount of water is controlled on the brush, I haven’t had too much of an issue with bleeding. As expected, the brush and water dish are both cheaply made but usable. The main draw in ordering this was for the mats, which I use a different (better quality) brush for. My biggest complaints in terms of quality (which I removed a star for) are a fold down the middle (that hopefully can be straightened out over time), some wrinkling around the mat edges, and several permanent small dark spots on the mat writing surfaces.

It has silhouettes for the basic strokes, and some basic characters. This is precisely what we’re studying in our calligraphy class.

easy to use, arrived in mint condition and tremendously helpful for learning brush calligraphy. we have brushes but will try these. contacted the company and was informed that the product is non-toxic cloth with a silica top coating. so can play until the heart is content.

なぞる為の字が、とても、はっきりしていて、綺麗し分かりやすいです。乾くのも早いです。楷書に大切な九成宮を、このような形で練習出来るのは、有難いです。

水筆練習セットとしては本格的です。簡単なガイドブックが同梱されており、中身はオール中国語ですが運筆のコツなどが写真入りで解説されていて何となく分かります。歴代の書聖の書も掲載されていて好みの書体を見つけることができます。なお、練習シートは唐代に活躍した書聖・顔真卿が手本として採用されています。比較的スタンダードな楷書だと思います。数シートあるので、なぞってみっちり練習できます。トメや払いなどすべての要素を含む「永」の字が基本とされるのは日本と同じで取っつきやすいです。水筆でなのに本当の墨で書いたかのような発色と書き味でやる気になります。準備や後片付けも格段に楽ちんで、毎日手軽に続けられます。

こういうアイデアのものは初めて知りました。練習にはすごくいいと思う。ただ字には好みがあるので、自分の好きな字を練習したい。なので枠だけの文字を書いた紙は不要です。こういうセットより、普通の書道用紙サイズの白紙の紙が30枚ほど欲しかった。消えるのに1時間ほど時間がかかるので、1枚だけじゃ意味がない。これで練習してからちゃんとした用紙で次は練習する。そういうふうにしたかった。

I love this! It is so fun to use it again and again. It is calming and relaxing to watch the water turn to black ink on the scroll, then to watch it disappear as it dries. Great product!

I bought this so that I can practice my calligraphy without wasting ink or paper. The best part is that it's portable and I can use it almost anywhere. All I need it done water and I can practice calligraphy. Of course, I take care to not saturate the mats with too much water, as this reduces the longevity of the cloth. Occasionally, I have someone notice that I'm using these mate and they get curious. Inadvertently, it also works as a neat conversation piece, and motivates me to practice and improve my craft.

So much fun, and works exactly as described. The included paintbrush is great quality as well.

I love practicing with this item. It only takes water and dries quickly. I save a lot on paper. I’m a beginner and mess up a lot. So perfect for me.
