Sort of related to this thread: http://forum.koohii.com/showthread.php?tid=3838
I've started adding traditional kanji to my deck, to improve my kanji count a bit. Rather than making new keywords, I have opted to use the modern version of each character as a keyword of sorts, essentially resulting in kanji --> kanji cards. So far, it seems to work quite nicely. As for primitives, where they differ from the ones listed in Heisig's books, I try to come up with meanings related to the corresponding primitives in modern kanji, but often with a twist to give them more of a "traditional" (or simply "old") connotation.
One advantage of looking into the traditional forms of kanji seems to be that those few characters still containing old primitives begin to make a bit more sense (which, of course, would have helped more if I didn't already know them).
Is anyone else working on these kanji forms, and in that case, what is your approach?
