block letters

On-Yomi: カイ

Koohii stories:

1) [Elphalpo] 5-7-2010(25): Print-style writing (as opposed to cursive): All print-style writing looks rather wooden to me. I prefer the fancy curves of cursive. (Note: Heisig gives this character the official keyword "block letters," but based on what I've read about the meaning of the character in the Yahoo! Japan Dictionary, I prefer "print-style writing").

2) [Magnus13] 10-7-2011(15): Block letters (as opposed to cursive) are rigid and lifeless like wood; they're all the same size so that all can read them.

3) [enoonyllaer] 21-8-2010(15): all the hiragana are in "block letters" on wooden blocks, like children's toys.

4) [FoxintheStars] 14-1-2011(4): Literally the block letters on children's blocks, carved into wood so clearly that all can read them.

5) [Aeryon] 24-1-2012(3): At the base of the tree, in white block letters is written the following; "In 1911, 3 men sat here and compared the whiteness of their skins. In the end it was determined that they were all white.".
