Notes/Mnemonic
Sorry, no Comments at this time.


These Kanji pages are created by several volunteers who deserve more praise than just a note at the bottom of the page! Dan (dan) and Sean (Mukade). If you would like to volunteer, please PM me (clay). We need people familiar with 2 kyuu or 1 kyuu kanji. Thanks!

Many example sentences are from the Tanaka Corpus as modified for use with WWWJDIC.
