It's a new way. I am thinking on a way to memorize how to write the letters. Hope it helps others as well.
Learn how to memorize the "Hiragana" letters by shapes!

I will try my best to think of all possible shapes for even the most difficult-to-write letter 
I still didn't reach that one Mike showed but of course I will keep thinking of a shape for it.

My only motive is to help people, I am not very worried about asking for help
I am helping both Japanese kids to easily remember the shapes and try to write the letter down as fast as they can, and those who find difficulties learning them or memorizing them.
And now I am sure kids will certainly write down the letter quickly since when they think of "ka" as a chair so they try to draw a chair "か" and a hand almost looks like someone is putting it on his leg but the person is not present.
When they think of "ki" as a leg and a boot and two sticks over the leg "き" they will quickly write the letter down, of course I am very happy because this worked for me and I no longer forget them.

I have worked over this process for the English and Arabic letters as well, and now I am working on the Japanese ones.

Is that taken from a textbook? If so what's the name of that textbook?

While using shapes to remember Hiragana can be a good way to memorise the characters, the problem I see with your method is that the shapes/images bear no relation to the sound of the character. For example I might remember 'chair' to write the character か but 'chair' doesn't help me link か to the sound /ka/. The biggest problem learners have with Kana is relating the sounds to the characters.
There are already several methods for memorising Hiragana and Katakana using shapes available online that do use images that no only help you remember the shape, but also the sound, as in the example posted by FinancialWar.
I think it would be more useful to learners to use shapes/images that also help them associate the character with its pronunciation.

well, most of the shapes by FinacialWar's post don't exactly match the letters themselves and they would confuse the kids.
In my post, I didn't say how to remember the sounds of the letters. I stated how to memorize writing the letter.

I would like to thank FinancialWars very much. His post helped me with this.. without his pictures I wouldn't thought of the sound idea. The tsu sound as in It's.
FinancialWars is like telling me "This will assist you if you can't imagine a shape for a letter!"

See sumples of handwritten fonts in my previous post, which are made from ACTUAL handwritten kana. Most Japanese people don't WRITE hiragana/katakana like printed fonts you're probably using as reference. (Typical ones are 窶堋ｫ and 窶堋ｳ. The last stroke at the bottom is sparated from the vertical stroke.)
