Kanji
- Grade 1
The 80 kanji characters Japanese elementary school students
learn in 1st grade.
The table below shows the kanji numbers as listed by the
Japanese Ministry of Education. The table also shows the
number of strokes for writing each kanji, the meaning of
each kanji, and the onyomi and kunyomi readings for each
kanji.
Note: There are two columns of
clickable kanji character links. |
- Kanji column
- These links go directly to my
site pages.
- Wiki column
- These links go directly to the
Wiktionary pages for each kanji for additional
information. Each Wiktionary link opens to a new window.
- Note:
the individual kanji pages state the following: "Click
the writing practice application link on either sidebar
if you want to try writing this kanji character online."
The writing application link is no longer working.
