I’m not taking about special shodo ink calligraphy, just regular writing with a pen. I was searching for resources online but only found phone apps and stroke orders, not really something I could print and practice on.
In terms of printouts, [this site](https://www.penji-mikata.com/) might be better. I personally don’t like it all that much though because it’s just using a 教科書体 font rather than actual penmanship, but it’ll probably do. [This one](http://ji.bdmj.net/aozora.php) also sucks for the exact same reason, but at least the texts that it has you write are interesting.
Look for the hashtag #ãƒšãƒ³ç¿’å— (or just #ペンå—) on instagram and youtube. You won’t be able to print anything out but I’m learning a few things just by watching or looking at samples. Or search google and amazon.co.jp using the same term for books. I found a site a while ago but I can’t seem to find the link anymore. I’ll try to update this if I find it.
Have you considered going to a shop that sells supplies for calligraphy? In Taiwan there’s a series of very inexpensive notebooks for different writing styles starting with the basics that I can find at calligraphy and fountain pen shop.s
If you’re looking for just blank boxes with the correct spacing to practice writing, you could consider looking up 原稿用紙 (genkouyoushi) as well

I use [this book](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.amazon.co.jp/%25E4%25BB%258A%25E3%2581%2599%25E3%2581%2590%25E5%25BD%25B9%25E7%25AB%258B%25E3%2581%25A4-%25E3%2582%2589%25E3%2581%258F%25E3%2582%2589%25E3%2581%258F%25E5%25AD%2597%25E3%2581%258C%25E4%25B8%258A%25E6%2589%258B%25E3%2581%258F%25E3%2581%25AA%25E3%2582%258B-%25E3%2583%259A%25E3%2583%25B3%25E5%25AD%2597%25E3%2581%25AE%25E6%2589%258B%25E6%259C%25AC-%25E7%25BE%258E%25E3%2581%2597%25E3%2581%2584%25E6%259B%25B8%25E3%2581%258D%25E6%2596%2587%25E5%25AD%2597-%25E6%25A5%25B7%25E6%259B%25B8%25E3%2581%25A8%25E8%25A1%258C%25E6%259B%25B8%25E3%2583%258F%25E3%2583%25B3%25E3%2583%2589%25E3%2583%2596%25E3%2583%2583%25E3%2582%25AF/dp/4295401471&ved=2ahUKEwjJxN3cldH4AhV8IUQIHWubA8gQFnoECBEQAQ&usg=AOvVaw06P0tw4JSUDGlx0GqVAvzU) for reference.

Is [this](https://m4688.com/2020/04/25/post-830/) what you’re looking for? I like the explicit pointers about stroke order, angles and other details. How about [this](https://www.jakka.jp/) site? I googled æ¼¢å—ドリルプリント and free kanji [printables](https://nortonsafe.search.ask.com/web?o=APN12179&l=dir&qo=serpSearchTopBox&geo=en_US&doi=2021-12-22&cmpgn=jul21&p2=%5EEQ%5Ejul21%5E&q=free+kanji+printables).

Maybe you’ll find Japanese Calligrapher Takumi’s YT [channel](https://www.youtube.com/c/takumitohgu) useful. He uses a variety of pens/pencils.
