Japanese written characters, or kanji, have their origin in a picture-language developed in ancient China. Over time this language evolved into stylized abstract forms that are hard to memorize. In Kanji Pict-o-Graphix, Michael Rowley offers a whole new set of contemporary visual and textual memory aids-mnemonics-that reveal the meanings of over 1,000 Japanese kanji. Fully indexed and cross-referenced.
