Remembering The Kanji I by James W. Heisig

A Complete Course on How Not to Forget the Meaning and Writing of Japanese Characters

A practical, mnemonic-based course that teaches the meanings and written forms of Japanese kanji by breaking characters into simpler components, assigning each a single keyword, and encouraging learners to create memorable visual stories to link parts to whole characters; the method presents characters in a logical sequence from simple to complex and concentrates on meaning and stroke order rather than pronunciations, aiming to make long-term recall faster and more reliable.
