Hiragana practice worksheet for learning Japanese writing.

The image shows a Japanese hiragana practice sheet. The top row contains the first 15 characters of the hiragana syllabary, written in order:

あ い う え お か き く け こ さ し す せ そ

These are the basic vowel sounds (a, i, u, e, o) followed by the “k” column (ka, ki, ku, ke, ko) and then the “s” column up to “so” (sa, shi, su, se, so).

Since no specific question was asked — such as “write the next 5 characters” or “circle all vowels” — and given that this is a blank practice grid with only the first row filled, the most logical interpretation is that the student is expected to continue writing the rest of the hiragana chart in the empty rows below.

But wait — let’s check: Is there an actual problem stated? Looking again at the user’s request:
> “Solve the problem accurately.”
> “The user uploaded an image containing a task.”

However, the image itself does not contain a written instruction like “Fill in the missing letters” or “Write the next row”. It just shows the first 15 hiragana on the top line and blank grids below.

In educational contexts, when a worksheet shows the beginning of a sequence and leaves space below, the implied task is usually to continue the pattern.

So, what comes after “そ” (so)?

Let’s recall the standard gojūon (五十音) order:

Row 1 (vowels): あ い う え お
Row 2 (k-row): か き く け こ
Row 3 (s-row): さ し す せ そ ← we’re here
Row 4 (t-row): た ち つ て と
Row 5 (n-row): な に ぬ ね の
... and so on.

So the next five characters after “そ” should be:

た ち つ て と

That’s exactly what would fit in the next row if we’re continuing the chart row by row.

Also note: In the original image, the first row has 15 characters — which is 3 full rows’ worth (5 per row). So it’s likely that each row in the grid is meant to hold 5 characters, and the first row accidentally combined three rows into one for demonstration.

Therefore, to properly fill out the worksheet, you’d write:

Row 1: あ い う え お
Row 2: か き く け こ
Row 3: さ し す せ そ
Row 4: た ち つ て то ← this is what goes in the second line of the grid
Row 5: な に ぬ ね の
etc.

But since the image already wrote all 15 in the first line, and left the rest blank, the next logical step is to start the next set — which is the “t” row.

Thus, the answer is to write the next five hiragana: た ち つ て と

Final Answer:
た ち つ て と
