The NEW 3rd Edition of White Rabbit Press' Japanese Kanji Flashcards: The Complete set of Kanji required for Levels 3 & 4 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test

We've gathered all the essential information needed to master kanji into a convenient flashcard format that makes learning and drilling as efficient as possible.

Preferred by thousands of students, in over 25 countries, White Rabbit Press is the recognized world leader in Japanese kanji flashcards.

Each card includes six vocabulary building kanji compounds. We include more vocabulary than other publishers' cards because the essence of a kanji is best grasped by understanding the meanings it forms when combined with other characters.

We only use kana scripts--not romaji--to show kanji readings, and we provide clear and precise definitions in English, so you'll spend less time reaching for a dictionary and more time learning kanji. Each card also includes the kanji's On and Kun readings, stroke order diagrams, look-alike kanji, and more.

Quality Construction
Cards are varnished with rounded corners for durablilty.

What's new in the Third Edition?

Customer Reviews:
Excellent flashcards
These beautifully researched flashcards are fine aids to the student of Japanese written language. A basis in hiragana and katakana are essential so that the student can read the demonstration phrases; recommended for the dedicated Japanese language learner.

Excellent Quality and Function
These cards are extremely well designed. The operative kanji is located in the upper left in a huge font face. The stroke order is listed in a series of step-by-step pictures below the kanji. Perhaps most helpfully, various uses of the kanji are located to the right of the operative kanji, which makes practicing the various readings quite easy.

Just as importantly, these cards are built to last. They are the equivalent of high quality, laminated playing cards: thick, wear-and-tear resistant, and they shuffle easily. The only flaw I can even imagine with these cards is that the stroke order doesn't indicate the point of origin (that is, you can see each step-by-step stroke, but it doesn't indicate if you start on, say, the left hand side and move to the right or vice versa). I had reason to contact the company about some replacement cards, and they responded quickly, helpfully, and without reservation. A company that actually stands by its products? What a relief!

I already ordered the next box of kanji, and I fully expect to eventually graduate to the massive JLPT level 1 kanji set offered by White Rabbit. Simply put, it's a great product without any significant flaws.

Ichiban. Simply, the best Japanese Flashcards on the market.
White Rabbit Press produces the best flashcards for learning Kanji and Japanese vocabulary in the world. A bold statement that the cards on my desk verify. Over the years, I have tried off and on to learn Japanese and often get discouraged by Kanji and made it fun and easy. I highly recommend anyone with an interest and desire to learn Japan pick these cards up.
1. High quality cards with a great feel in the hand. The cards are built to last, which is extremely helpful as you cycle through the various cards to pick up all the kanji.
2. The design is simply sleek and cool. Who would have thought flashcards would make you feel fashionable? The amount of time taken on the packaging, graphics on the cards and layout scream class.
3. The cards are extremely informative, each card is dual-sided and layered with information that is accessible and not daunting. This includes the Kanji itself, similar kanji, a nice illustration of the stroke order and various examples of the kanji usage in various words. The flip side of the card explains the meaning of everything on the front. Simply put, it is outstanding and easy to read.
4. WRP really cares about its customers and highlight they are really making something special for you, the Japanese learner. It is evident in the language used in the none kanji cards, including the cool "Tell a friend" cards in the set.
I highly recommend getting these cards and the matching poster if your serious about learning Japanese. You will not be disappointed.

Great Flashcards For A Student of Japanese!
These cards are great! I'm a beginner in Japanese and I'm using James W. Heisig's, Remembering the Kanji Vol. 1 (and Vol. 2) along with these cards (and the second set of flashcards) to teach myself the Kanji. While they don't cover all 2042 Kanji in the Remembering the Kanji books, they have dramatically improved my memorization and retention of a lot of characters. The cards are very sturdy and well designed. The front gives the character, the stroke order, vocabulary using the character, and similar Kanji that you can mistake for the character your looking at. On the back you are given the On and Kun readings, the meaning, and the translation of the vocab on the front. The only negative statements that I can make about these cards relates to the second volume, and that is that they are no longer split into decks like in the first volume (it's because there are about 3-4 times as many in this set), and that they smell bad! Like an unpleasant chemical kind of smell. But I still definitely recommend these flashcards and the second volume if you are learning the Japanese Kanji. Buy them!!!

Great for kanji, just make sure you use em!
Clear, durable cards and tons of em! They give around 6 example words for every kanji marking the more common and useful ones with a star so you know. Just make sure you use the damn things...which is my problem.
