This book contains about 300 kanji characters, along with the corresponding pictures to help beginners with easy recognition of the kanji characters. Some pictures are based on the historical development of the kanji characters, while others are based on the historical development of the kanji characters, while others are alterations from them or even my own creations. The goal is to understand what a specific kanji character means, rather than to learn how to write it.
