Don’t let the senseis catch you.. might lose a finger
If you practice calligraphy one day it could be interesting 🙂
I write everything the opposite direction. They only using directions in order to be easier to memorize them so as long as you are ok with it they are too 😋
I’m left-handed as well. I grew up in the Japanese public school system. I just accepted that I’m going to have shitty handwriting forever, ink all over my palms and hand cramps whenever I have to hand write something.
I avoid handwriting at all costs.
I’m left handed too, don’t develop bad habits early. Your characters WILL look off.
If you know history, you know ass humanity was to left-handed people. Write how the fuck you want
For personal use, yes. For proper learning, you should try to follow the stroke order and direction.
For example, it could be troublesome if you use a handwritten input such as [https://kanji.sljfaq.org/](https://kanji.sljfaq.org/) because stroke order is important in order to differentiate similar kanjis. Writing ishi 石 (first stroke horizontal, not crossed by second stroke) in a different order and you get migi 右 (first stroke diagonal, crossed by second stroke).
Now hiragana is not that troublesome but the foundation is still there. Try placing your notebook or paper in another direction in order to do those strokes.
