Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a writing pad used in calligraphy. [Background technology]

[0002] Calligraphy is the art of beautifully expressing characters such as kanji and kana using a brush and ink. It is enjoyed by people of all ages, and many people, from children to the elderly, attend classes and exhibit their individual works at art exhibitions, as it not only teaches Japanese traditional culture and history but also fosters spiritual growth by cultivating concentration, calming the mind, and honing one's sensibilities.

[0003] The tools necessary for calligraphy are a brush, ink, inkstone, and paper, but in addition, an underlay and a paperweight are also required. The underlay is placed under the paper and is generally made of felt, and some have lines or frames to make it easier to identify the position where to write characters, especially for beginners (Patent Documents 1 to 4). The paperweight is a weight placed on top of the paper, and you should place the paper on top of the underlay, and then place the paperweight on the paper before starting to write.

[0005] However, the underlays in Patent Documents 1 to 3 have ruled lines or frames for six characters, while the underlay in Patent Document 4 has frames for four or six characters, so both are underlays dedicated to six or six characters. However, if you want to write four or six characters on a piece of calligraphy paper with an underlay, you have to prepare two dedicated underlays for each person.

[0006] In addition, the size and shape of paper used for calligraphy vary (half-size paper, quarter-size paper, half-folded paper, 2 x 8 shaku paper, full-size paper, fan-shaped paper, round paper, etc.), so it is not practical to prepare a writing pad for each type.

[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a calligraphy writing pad that can be used in a highly flexible manner according to the writer's needs. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the calligraphy writing pad of the present invention is as follows: The first feature is that it has a rectangular writing pad body made of a flexible material, and outer frame lines are printed in advance on the front and back surfaces of the writing pad body to form blank ruled entry columns on the inside, which allow different numbers of character frames to be arranged on the front and back surfaces by writing ruled lines.

[0009] The calligraphy writing pad according to this invention is: The second feature is that it has a rectangular writing pad body made of a flexible material, and outer frame lines are printed in advance on the front and back of the writing pad body to form blank ruled entry fields on the inside, which allow different numbers of character string frames to be arranged on the front and back by writing ruled lines.

[0010] The calligraphy writing pad according to this invention is: The third feature is that the device has a rectangular writing pad body made of a flexible material, and outer frame lines are printed in advance on the front and back surfaces of the writing pad body, forming blank character string frame entry fields on the inside that allow different character string frames to be arranged on the front and back surfaces by writing the character string frame lines.

[0011] The calligraphy writing pad according to this invention is: The fourth feature is that the device has a rectangular writing pad body made of a flexible material, and on the front and back surfaces of the writing pad body, a fan-shaped or round outer frame line is pre-printed, which forms a blank text frame entry field inside, allowing different text frame lines to be arranged on the front and back surfaces by writing the text frame line.

[0012] The calligraphy writing pad according to this invention is: The fifth feature is that the device has a rectangular writing pad body made of a flexible material, and on the front and back surfaces of the writing pad body, a fan-shaped or round outer frame line is pre-printed together with an edge frame line indicating the edge of the colored paper, which forms a blank space inside for writing a text frame line, allowing different text frames to be arranged on the front and back surfaces by writing the text frame line. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] The calligraphy writing pad of this invention has an outer border printed on both the front and back sides, and the user can freely draw vertical or horizontal lines or character frame lines within the outer border, allowing the user to create a writing pad of their choice on both sides. Furthermore, since each side of the writing pad can be designed for different numbers of characters or in different shapes (half-folded, fan-shaped, round, etc.), this allows for a high degree of freedom in creating writing pads and eliminates the need to purchase a dedicated writing pad.

[0015] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a calligraphy writing pad according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figures 1(A) and 1(B) show the front and back surfaces of a first calligraphy writing pad according to the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes the calligraphy writing pad.

[0016] The illustrated calligraphy writing pad 1 (hereinafter referred to as "writing pad 1") is the size of a half-sized sheet of paper, and the writing pad body 2 is made of a flexible, foldable felt-like material. As shown in Figure 1(A), on the front surface of the writing pad body 2, an outer frame 3 is pre-formed by printing or the like near the edges along the four sides of the writing pad body 2, and a blank ruled entry field 4 is provided within the outer frame 3. Similarly, on the back surface of the writing pad body 2, as shown in Figure 1(B), an outer frame 5 is pre-formed by printing or the like near the edges along the four sides of the writing pad body 2, and a blank ruled entry field 6 is provided within the outer frame 3.

[0017] As shown in Figure 2(A), the user of the writing pad 1 can create a character frame 9 for two characters vertically and two characters horizontally (a total of four characters) and a name frame 10 by manually filling in one vertical line 7 and one horizontal line 8 within the outer frame 3 on the front side of the writing pad body 2. Also, as shown in Figure 2(B), the user can create a character frame 9 for three characters vertically and two characters horizontally (a total of six characters) and a name frame 10 by manually filling in one vertical line 7 and two horizontal lines 8 within the outer frame 5 on the back side of the writing pad body 2.

[0018] In this way, by printing the outer borders 3, 5 and the blank ruled lines 4, 6 inside them on the front and back of the writing pad 1 in advance, the user of the writing pad 1 can write vertical lines 7 and horizontal lines 8 in the ruled lines 4, 6 on both sides in the positions of their choice on both sides, allowing one calligraphy writing pad 1 to be used in two ways (one side for four characters, the other for six characters). The examples in Figures 2(A) and (B) are just an example, and the user can freely decide the positions and number of vertical lines 7 and horizontal lines 8 to write inside each of the outer borders 3, 5.

[0019] The illustrated example is half-size paper, but it is not limited to half-size paper, and can be applied to various types of paper used in calligraphy and penmanship, such as half-size, quarter-size, eighth-size, full-size, 26 shaku, 28 shaku, 36 shaku, fan-shaped, and round.

[0020] Figures 3(A) and (B) show the front and back surfaces of the second calligraphy writing pad according to the present invention.

[0021] The illustrated calligraphy writing pad 11 (hereinafter referred to as "writing pad 11") is the size of a half-cut sheet of paper, and the writing pad body 12 is made of a flexible, foldable felt-like material. As shown in Figure 3(A), on the front surface of the writing pad body 12, an outer frame 13 is pre-formed by printing or the like near the edges along the four sides of the writing pad body 12, and a blank ruled entry field 14 is provided within the outer frame 13. Similarly, on the back surface of the writing pad body 12, as shown in Figure 3(B), an outer frame 15 is pre-formed by printing or the like near the edges along the four sides of the writing pad body 11, and a blank ruled entry field 16 is provided within the outer frame 15.

[0022] As shown in Figure 4(A), the user of the writing pad 11 can create a two-line character frame 17 inside the outer frame 13 by drawing one vertical ruled line 7 on the front surface of the writing pad main body 12 within the outer frame 13. Also, as shown in Figure 4(B), the user can create a four-line character frame 17 inside the outer frame 15 by drawing three vertical ruled lines 7 on the back surface of the writing pad main body 12 within the outer frame 15.

[0023] The writing pad 11 in the illustrated example has one or three vertical ruled lines 7 drawn within the outer frame 13, but the number is not limited. It is also possible to draw multiple horizontal ruled lines within the outer frame 13 to create multiple lines of horizontally written text. It is also possible to turn the writing pad 11 90 degrees sideways from the state shown in Figure 4(A) and draw multiple vertical ruled lines 7 within the outer frame 13 to create multiple columns of vertically written text.

[0024] Figures 5(A) and 5(B) show the front and back surfaces of the third calligraphy writing pad according to the present invention.

[0025] As shown in Figure 5(A), on the surface of the illustrated calligraphy writing pad 18 (hereinafter abbreviated as "writing pad 18"), a large, fan-shaped outer frame 20 is provided in advance in the center of the writing pad body 19 by printing or the like, together with an edge line 21 that depicts the edge of colored paper. Similarly, as shown in Figure 5(B), on the back surface of the writing pad body 19, a large, round outer frame 23 is provided in advance in the center of the writing pad body 19 by printing or the like, together with an edge line 21 that depicts the edge of colored paper. Within the outer frame lines 20, 23, blank character string entry fields 22, 24 are provided, respectively, for writing character strings.

[0026] As shown in Figure 6(A), the user of the writing pad 18 can create multiple (three in the illustrated example) character string frames 26 inside the fan-shaped outer frame line 20 by drawing multiple (three in the illustrated example) character string frame lines 25 inside the fan-shaped outer frame line 20 on the front surface of the writing pad main body 19. Also, as shown in Figure 6(B), the user can create multiple (three in the illustrated example) character string frames 26 inside the circular outer frame line 23 by drawing multiple (three in the illustrated example) character string frame lines 25 inside the circular outer frame line 23 on the back surface of the writing pad main body 19.

[0027] 6(A) and 6(B), the character string frame line 25 and the character string frame 26 are not limited to a character string of multiple characters, but may be a character frame line or character frame for a single character. Also, they may be frames for vertical, diagonal, or horizontal writing.

[0028] According to this embodiment, users of the writing pads 1 and 11 can freely draw vertical and horizontal lines in the blank ruled entry fields within the outer frame lines on the front and back sides, allowing calligraphy beginners to advanced calligraphers to create writing pads that suit their preferences.In addition, since both sides can be used as writing pads with different numbers of characters, there is no need to prepare two writing pads for each number of characters.

[0029] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the user of the writing pad 18 can freely write a string of characters in the blank spaces inside the fan-shaped outer frame on the front side and the circular outer frame on the back side, and can use this as a writing pad to practice writing characters on fan-shaped or round colored paper.Furthermore, the writing pad 18 is provided with border lines 21 that depict the edges of the colored paper, so that the user can effectively practice writing characters on these colored papers while strongly imagining the fan-shaped or round colored paper.

[0030] According to this invention, the material of the calligraphy pad is not limited to a felt-like material, but can also be made of cloth, and it is preferable that it is wrinkle-resistant, can be folded for easy carrying, and is washable. The color of the pad should be a color that allows the outline, ruled lines, and text frame lines of the calligraphy paper to be visible through the pad, and light colors such as white, light blue, cherry blossom, pink, light green, pale green, pale yellow, and beige are preferable.

[0031] According to this invention, the characters written within the outer frame of the writing pad can be written in any style, including regular script, running script, cursive script, kana, seal script, clerical script, and foreign languages, and writing pads for all of these styles are available.In addition, writing pads for both vertical and horizontal writing are available.
