They are usually referred to as pencil boards in English. Shitajiki for handwriting are generally made of plastic about 1 to 2 mm in thickness, making them flexible but still durable. Typically, they are B5 sized (slightly smaller than U.S. letter size ), although other sizes are also available (typically A4 or A5 ).
