Book excerpt: "...demystifies the seemingly inscrutable, inorganic components of kanji, so that students of Japanese may engage with them on a personal, human level. Through easy-to-follow accounts of the historical developement of each of the 2,136 joyo kanji (with over 4,500 ancient precursors), this guide restores the connection between present-day characters and the depictions of everyday life that inspired their creation, so that students can gain real familiarity with the common shapes that are the basis of the meaning and sound of modern-day kanji"--Back cover.
