I'm hoping that Heisig doesn't just make up his own stories or encourage students of his method to do this. I'll just say that Henshall's book "Remembering the Japanese Characters" is super fantastic because it also includes storied mnemonics but these are based on etymological sources including many original characters and their historical derivitives, with an emphasis on actual Japanese phonetics that are intended to make it easier to remember as well as provide an accurate foundation of meaning for the characters. I thought we were talking about something else. I just ordered a copy of the book and expect it to arrive tomorrow! I will also change my review to a positive one, since the mistake was mine. I'll be fair and give Heisig his fair chance. Certainly not as an end to itself, but as a foundational start (at least as you've described it). You (Anki Deck Card Maker) have explained Heisigs philosophy to me now and I can see based on what you've explained, that his approach certainly could have some merit. Something about his method seemed lacking but I will admit that I have never gave it a fair shot. I remember Heisig's book years ago and passed it over at the bookstore for other books that seemed more comprehensive. Beyond that, they may be fairly different from what I am now beginning to understand. The two books are very similar in title, cover art, and last name of author. I'm changing my review to a positive but left the original review content above so that others who read this can understand the context of the conversation we have here. Actually we could say it has nothing to do with the book version as we could get the same info in this deck in a thousand other decks." It has lost all of the value of the Remembering the Kanji book. This deck is only English to Written Kanji. However, this deck has no pronunciations, no historical/mnemonic explanations. "Remembering the Kanji is an excellent study reference. I hope you can forgive me for the original poor review, which you can read here: I thought it was (A Guide to) Remembering Japanese Characters by Kenneth G Henshall. I mistook this card deck for a supplement to a completely different book and author. ![]() Using stroke count and lesson number from this deck: Using mostly information from this website: I created this deck by modifying this deck's card type: Here's a preview of the backside of the card: The deck also contains fields for stories you want to type yourself. The deck doesn't contain the primitive elements that are not themselves kanji.Įvery kanji links to a website containing stroke order, the Heisig story/comment and a few Koohii stories. I quickly figured out that many of the decks weren't complete, didn't suit my taste, or was from an older edition. I was going to study this book and thought using Anki with it would be perfect, but lazy as I was, I looked for shared decks. This is a deck including all 2200 kanji of the book Remembering the Kanji 1, 6th Edition, by James W. ![]()
