In drawing the circle I think it is more important where you place your starting point than the direction of the stroke. Indeed if I start at the top I draw it clockwise, while when starting from the bottom I draw counter-clockwise. This seems to be the main difference between 'western' drawing and japanese ones: the starting point.

That's a good point. At least in my case, I started at the top, kind of thinking of a clock, and drew in the appropriate direction.
