Competition Details:
Students are required to design a set of hiragana characters to help in the process of
memorisation. See example below:
Students are required to choose a line of hiragana characters from the 48 base characters of
the Japanese hiragana chart and design pictures for each of the five characters to assist in the
process of memorisation. A story will also need to be created to help associate the shape and
strokes of the character with the sound.
