36 days of type, you said? Booooooring. There are at least 48 characters in katakana and 46 in hiragana, and this is what i'm gonna draw for about next 100 days.

Modern katakana is angular so i managed to start with geometric style. Japanese has no letters and all the characters ad syllables. This one ア is an 'a' sound. Not english /ˈeɪ/, but 'a' just like it sounds in 'car' for example. This is 1 of 5 nucleus vowels in Japanese. The rest is i, e, u, o. So all other syllables are 42 core or body (onset-nucleus) syllabograms, consisting of 9 consonants in combination with each of the 5 vowels.
