From Amazon.com

How does one learn kanji, the characters of written Japanese? The traditional approach is rote memorization. Japanese children write each kanji hundreds of times at their desks, and eventually they are acquired. Michael Rowley offers a different way, a mnemonic-association approach that provides a hook on which to hang the meaning and retrieve it easily when the kanji comes into view. The concept is simple: each character is represented under the word or concept it stands for (such as turf, bamboo, eat, or duty), followed by the pronunciations of the word in Chinese and Japanese, and a drawing that captures the meaning and resembles the character enough so that it'll come to mind whenever the kanji is seen.

Organized thematically in chapters such as "Power," "Places," "Tools," "The World," "Food," "People," and "The Body," Rowley's book lets you learn the root symbols before teaching the words that add to them for further meanings. For example, the character for water is a splatter of three dashes that Rowley pictures as three splashing water drops. Later, you see that steam, float, boil, dirt, and bathe all build on the water character. For steam, there's the water character plus a series of lines that Rowley exaggerates to resemble swirling, vapory tendrils, and the association helps. Building on units of memory and relationship, recall is aided considerably by the simple yet evocative drawings. Rowley even manages to help with the hiragana and katakana syllabaries, providing appealing pictures that look a bit like the letters in question and begin with the same sounds. So the na letter looks like a knot, nu resembles Rowley's drawing of noodles held by chopsticks, and it's easier to remember which symbol means te when you picture a telephone pole.

It's hard to do Rowley's book justice with words, since the visual element is what makes it tick. He does a wonderful job, blending insight, imagination, and drawing technique, in a book that far surpasses the old rote method, making kanji learning both appealing and accessible. --Stephanie Gold

3.0étoiles sur 5 Good Idea, Poor Execution, Avril 26 2007
Par Steve S. (Los Angeles) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This book presents approximately 1,000 kanji characters, along with mnemonics designed to help you memorize the meanings. For example, on the cover, the book suggests that the character for "stop" looks like a policeman saying "stop!"

It's a good idea, but the bottom line is that most of the entries just are not that good. For example, the character for "horse" really looks like a horse. You shouldn't need any help noticing that. The book twists the character into a different, and much less plausible, horse.

try "Essential Kanji: 2,000 Basic Japanese Characters Systematically Arranged For Learning And Reference" instead. It is much more useful.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Beautiful but not as helpful as it could have been, Sep 7 2003
Par S. Gefen (Tel Aviv, Israel) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
First, let me say that I (being a student of Japanese of 2 years) love browsing through this book. The art is beautiful, the mnemonics usually make sense (except a few cases where you can tell that Rowley had a bit of a hard time thinking up mnemonics for things), and the radical categorization system is excellent.

However, as a study aid, i found the value of this book is questionable. I missed being able to see how the kanjis work within a compound of kanji-kana/kanji-kana (as most words in Japanese are).

Also, while the book features a kanji and its Ohn/Kun readings, which occasionally will have a different meaning, it doesn't specify exactly which meaning corresponds with which. As someone with a limited vocabulary at this point of her studies, I learned a lot from this book, at least where reading is concerned. I COULD have learned even more from it had they bothered to add this valuable snippet of information to each item in the book.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Mistakes, Jui 12 2004
There are so many mistakes in this book. Mis-numbered cross referential numbers and kanji is just wrong are some of the most glaring examples. It is difficult to learn anything when you are second guessing the material. The most embarrassing oversight is the kanji for noisy which is made up of three little kanji women. That kanji is only really used with a power kanji in front to mean rape. Not only is the Kanji useless by itself (assuming you are not living in the Heian period), but it is offensive when you try to use it.
The idea of the book is great epically with my learning style, but get a Japanese editor.
