This massive 3.6 pound text is the ultimate authoritative book on learning Japanese Kanji.
The Kanji Handbook presents an ingenious and tested method to learn the 1,945 kanji characters taught in all Japanese language schools. Through the use of "KanjiHybrids"—a concept invented by the author—learners of Kanji and taught to link the characters mentally with English words to form one integral and indivisible unit. This innovative mnemonic device has been proven to train the learner to retain each kanji in the memory much better than simple repetition of the kanji alone—as well as enabling users to differentiate similar–looking kanji characters.
Specific learning strategies also enable users to progress quickly from the beginner to advanced level kanji, with stroke orders shown clearly for each kanji character. Eight different indexes-including the highly useful Flip–it Index—form the last part of this unique handbook.
- Contains the complete list of all 1,945 kanji characters taught in Japanese schools.
- Presents a new KanjiHybrids system linking kanji characters with English words to aid memorization.
- Innovative learning strategies guide learners at all levels from beginner to advanced.

"The meaning-based framework in this book provides a streamlined approach to mastering kanji characters. Its innovative alphabetical index is a particularly welcome addition to currently available kanji learning materials." —The Japanese Times
"Possibly the most creative approach to learning kanji characters yet invented for English speakers. This book gives students the most important motivation possible for learning those troublesome characters: it makes learning fun." —Proffesor Ian Condry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
"The use of mnemonic devices presented in this book can be a highly useful motivating tool in communicating large amounts of information to memory, and I am sure that suggestions in that regard will catch the imagination of many students." —Professor Wesley Jacobson, Harvard University
"Revolutionary and standard–setting…" —The Japan Foundation

A creative and effective approach to learning kanji
By Zack Davisson
For most people studying Japanese, kanji is your nemesis, the thing that will make you want to hurl your study books across the room and run screaming into a country that uses a more decent writing system, like the alphabet. But they are pretty cool, and if you want to know Japanese, you need to know kanji, so you desperately look for tricks or shortcuts to make the process less painful.
"The Kanji Handbook" is another guide that proposes a method to get those little chicken scratches to stick inside your head better than just endless copying. The system is fairly simple, using linguistic association, where a word is written out with everything but the first letter, which is then replaced by the target kanji. For example, the word boat would look like (kanji)oat. The kanji are then grouped together in a fairly nontraditional method using similarity of appearance. This way, you study them all as a group and can learn to detect the small changes that separate one from another. This method is both good and bad, because while it makes it easier to remember the groupings, some very complex kanji are learned next to very simple kanji, and there is no workbook to help master the strokes. There is still a healthy amount of copying, as the author recommends writing each kanji about 30 times, then he composes a sentence in English using the target kanji that is also written about 30 times. Some of the sentences are quite odd and forced to include all the kanji in the grouping, but they are usually helpful.
I have tried the Heisig method, but found it a little too esoteric for my tastes, and I didn't stick with it. Vee David's method is more instantly practical, as one can write English sentences using the studied kanji and in fact David recommends keeping a journal where you make your own sentences daily using all of the target kanji. The method seems to be working, as the kanji I have learned from "The Kanji Handbook" do indeed stick in my head, and I have no problem writing them from memory.
The main drawback to "The Kanji Handbook" is its size. It is a massive book, about the size of an unabridged dictionary. It is also quite heavy, making it cumbersome to carry around and impractical for constant study. However, the print inside is quite small, so the size could have only been reduced by breaking it into two or three different volumes, which I wouldn't have minded. Also, the choice was made to use romaji for pronunciation for new kanji, which is usually the hallmark of an inferior Japanese study guide. However, it is hard to argue with success, and since I am studying kanji and not pronunciation, it can be overlooked. David also makes it clear that this book is for kanji only, and that only people who already have a decent fluency with spoken Japanese should try this method. It is also not a vocabulary learner, although hefty amounts of vocabulary are included. This text is strictly for kanji, and for that it works well.

A novel approach, but really useful?
By Peter T. Evensen
Beginning a English word with the corresponding kanji is a novel approach. It will help one to remember the meaning, but not the character readings, which is the real challenge. This book does not address this problem.
A word of warning: this book uses ROMAJI for the readings. I do not understand why so many kanji books use romaji. If one wants to learn kanji, surely one can read katakana and hiragana. Romaji is an unnecessary distraction.

Pretty amazing
By Operation Latte Thunder
This book is light-years past most other books trying to teach kanji.
While romaji is used for the readings, this is not really a problem.
Some folks worry about copulas...these are present and more comprehensive than many of the other books and flash card sets I have.
Flip through a copy. You will probably like it.
