A question regarding Tsunade's "Gamble" Kanji

[ryals-shoal.livejournal.com]

Hello y'all

I am currently in the process of constructing a plush set of the 3 Sanin to sell. I have not yet started working on Tsunade, but before I do I was wondering if anyone knew of a online resouce on the proper stroke order of the kanji on her back. I'm nitpicky on little details as this.

As far as I know, the kanji on her back (according to the sub) translates to "Gamble" if anyone would know of an online or book source of the stroke order of this kanji, I would be very greatful!

I'll quote my kanji book. I don't know the stroke order for her 'kake,' but these are the general rules that always apply.

The Golden Rule: "Left to Right, Top to Bottom"

1. Horizontal strokes: left to right and parallel to one another
2. Vertical/slanting strokes: top to bottom
3. Hook strokes: top left to right and turn to the bottom (ex. "tsuki")
4. Center strokes first, then slanting left and right strokes
5. Outside strokes before inside strokes (but bottom stroke last) (ex. "shi" or "yon")
6. Crisscross strokes: horizontal strokes first, vertical strokes second
7. Diagonal strokes: left-hand first, right-hand second
8. Horizontal and vertical cutting strokes last

I'm not sure it's all that helpful... But, eh, that's all I can help you with. ^^;

I believe this is the correct order, based on my limited knowledge of kanji (aka: two years of learning Japanese).

The funny thing is that in most images of Tsunade, you see the extra stroke that's circled at the bottom. However, when looking up the kanji, I never saw that stroke, not through three dictionaries.

i'd say your strokes 9 and 10 are the wrong way around. that part strokes down before it goes across. yeah.

Yup, I reversed 9 and 10 (stupid mistake). It's been a year or two since I took Japanese, so i'm out of practice with kanji.
