DRAWING

Note There is a problem with the stroke order in some of these kanji, I'm aware of it but have no time to fix it, like all online information it should be taken with a (large) grain of salt. To be clear: the problem is in the image drawing program not the Taka database.

The green dot is the starting point!
Name above the completed radical is the reading
Name below the completed radical is the radical name
If you find an error, please email kanji at mahou.org

The stroke order information has been borrowed from the Taka Kanji Database
