This is a 22-page booklet for learners of Japanese. It presents the basic Hiragana and Katakana syllabaries, with each page dedicated to a row of characters. The document shows each kana in its handwritten form alongside its romanized pronunciation in parentheses.
The first half of the booklet covers the 46 basic Hiragana characters, starting with the five vowels あ (a), い (i), う (u), え (e), お (o). It then proceeds through the consonant rows: か (ka), さ (sa), た (ta), な (na), は (ha), ま (ma), や (ya), ら (ra), わ (wa), and finally ん (n).
Each page in the Hiragana section displays one row of five characters, except for the や row which has three characters and the final わ row which includes を (wo) and ん (n). The characters are arranged in the traditional gojūon order.
The second half of the booklet follows the same structure for Katakana, presenting the equivalent characters in the same order. Each Katakana character is shown with its romanized reading, allowing learners to compare the two scripts side by side.
The booklet is designed as a quick reference or study aid for beginners who want to memorize the Japanese writing systems. It contains no exercises, explanations, or example words, only the characters themselves with their pronunciations.
