Etymology Study Project - akisnow - 2013-10-01
I'm fascinated by kanji radicals and etymology, and I'm looking for kindred souls who share my curiosity or trying to get people more interested in learning it.
Today I learned that the 虫 in 独 and 触 is an abbreviation of 蜀 I found 8 kanji that use this element: 蜀獨觸囑濁燭躅髑 and I made mnemonics to remember them and posted them on my blog.
My blog:

Etymology sites I use:
kanjinetworks.com
chineseetymology.org

If you like kanji etymology you might want to look at kanjigen, the epwing version I found is really neat!

Do you study Traditional Chinese Characters as well. Since Japanese kanji are derivatives.

OP, you should update your profile so your website is linked under your username in your avater. I don't feel like copying and pasting blaaaah.
edit: It's not exactly what you're looking for but perhaps you'd find this site interesting: http://kanjialive.com/
