A 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.
