KANJI Wrote:leosmith, intriguing post. I've always been fascinated with the divide between engineers and humanists (?), that is, between quantitative vs. qualitative or numbers vs. language. Yet again another reminder of this divide. I won't even ask you why you might want to memorize kanji and their index number, ha, ha. But I want to ask you this: what do you like about the Kodansha dictionary (I've never seen it)?Hi KANJI. Even though you didn't ask...I've actually read posts where people wanted to memorize the index number along with every other aspect of the character. Seems crazy, even for a number-cruncher like me, but I thought I'd share this method.
The dictionary is really nice. Fairly big characters, clear stroke diagrams, lots of examples, beautiful printing. On the down side, it's a learners dictionary, so it only has a little over 2000 characters. Hey, do you know of a good kanji dictionary with a lot more characters, that shows stroke diagrams?
