I wanted to create a simple sort of template, for printing and then using by hand.
The one I want to create is called Genkō yōshi (原稿用紙, "manuscript paper"), which is nothing more than those squares in vertical position for both writing and practicing Japanese.
This is what I want to do (A4 page):
Note: they must be exact squares.
The irregular border on the top-right corner should not be there I think.
I've thought about using Tikz, but I have no idea of how to approach this… I've searched this site for hints on how to create notebook templates and from there I would've tweaked but found nothing. I've searched some sort of starting point on Texample.net too, but nothing that I could make use of.
I wish I could provide a MWE but here the point is not that I can't make something work, but rather that I have no idea what that something could be.
