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.

clickable kanji character links.

kanji pages opens in a new window. |
- 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.
