Mujitsu and Tairaku's Shakuhachi BBQ

As a part of my effort to learn Japanese I've tried to teach myself some basic calligraphy skills. While it may take a while - *cough* - before I'm able to paint anything readable I would still like to get started on doing something useful with this new skill. Since being able to write my own notation on a brush was one of the original goals I had in mind it seems like a good way to practice. I am, however, having some trouble getting started properly.

Is there a special kind of paper that is used in Japan for notation? Very often I've seen notation that is written on a paper that has vertical lines for columns and horizontal lines every so often that typically get used for phrase endings. I would like to assume that such paper is available somewhere but I have no idea where to look.

I considered simply printing sheets like that. The problem is that printer paper doesn't generally work that great with a brush. I could also use regular calligraphy paper. In that case I'd have to draw my own lines with a pencil or such or use a brush with a ruler. None of these options are very optimal although simple pencil markings have mostly worked so far. Making such paper out of blank sheets takes quite a bit of time, however, which could be better utilized in actually practicing the writing of the notes.
