The individual characters are designed to be written left to right. It's much easier for a right-handed person to write them correctly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke_order
your hand is not supposed to touch the paper. practice with a fountain pen
First time I'm hearing that. But even if it's true, right-handers don't care, because nobody will ever notice.

i managed to smudge the ink of the previous line regardless. the weight needs to be center so half the hand needs to balance half above the line you are writing. or you turn the paper. or ... there are so many different handstyles.
One hassle that Western left-handed writers have to deal with is avoiding smudging their just-written characters as their hands advance to the right. As traditional Japanese is written top-down and right-left, I would have thought lefties were at an advantage in that regard.
