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
