SynopsisA fun visual delight, this bestselling, award-winning book teaches over 1,000 kanji and their different readings. What is the best way to learn Japanese characters? You could learn through hours of repetition, writing and rewriting each character, as some children are taught to in Japan. Instead Kanji Pict-o-Graphix takes the more natural and accessible approach of learning through association, with each character given a mnemonic pairing based on its meaning. This book features over 1,000 kanji--as well as hiragana and katakana--along with a helpful memorization tool and their Chinese ( on-yomi ) and Japanese ( kun-yomi ) pronunciations. It's the perfect companion for any student of Japanese., Japanese written characters, or kanji, began in a picture-language developed in ancient China and have since evolved into difficult-to-memorize stylized abstract forms. Winner of several international design awards, this best-selling book explains 1,200 kanji with readings, main definitions, standard printed forms, and visual/text mnemonics., "Kanji Pict-o-Graphix offers an engaging way to learn and memorize Kanji."--Rocky Mountain Region Japan Project "A fun book for studying kanji.

fun and accessible, packed with info
+I saw this book years ago but was intimidated at how densely packed it was. But when i was able to buy it at discount and pore over it at my leisure, i found it was not exactly an academic, by-the-books text , so to speak. Instead it was a visually-associative text that used the author's imagination to break down and understand the each kanji. It was to be the first of several books I would start collecting on the subject. * The only reason I marked it down by one star was in fact the sheer density of the information available in it. I am not as young as when i first picked up this book, and tired old eyes at the end of the working day will have just a little trouble focusing on the visual cacophony of illustrations, strokes and English words packed into each page. * I would recommend complementing it with a similar but smaller book like the Kanji Starter Part 1, that has one or two characters per page, and you can carry with you in a pocket or purse (Pict-o-Graphix is a huge tome by comparison) so you can still study while standing in line at the bank or grocery storeVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
