Kanji Stroke Order resource - ryuudou - 2009-07-12
It seems the link in the essentials sticky is broken. Could someone point me to an online resource where I can search for kanji and get the stroke order? Thanks.

If you want an online resource, you can also use the KanjiVG website: http://kanjivg.tagaini.net/
This is where the stroke order animations for Tagaini come from. The site is a little bit rough but you can search for a kanji and get its components and stroke order indications. For instance: http://kanjivg.tagaini.net/Kanji/%E6%BC%A2
To see the stroke order, you need to put your mouse on the components or strokes that are displayed on the left. The corresponding component/stroke will be highlighted on the right image.
As this uses rather recent web technology (SVG), I make no guarantee that this will work with something else than Firefox 3.5 (Firefox 3 does not work ; Safari makes the kanji image very small ; did not even bother to try IE).
Oh, and if you find mistakes, please be nice to report them!
If this doesn't work for you or if you prefer classical animations, you can also use this website:

Just click on the 漢字の検索 button, enter a kanji, and there you go. There are probably many other resources like this one.
