📖 A Brief History of Kanji

Kanji characters first arrived in Japan from China around the 5th century CE, transforming written communication. Over the following centuries, scholars adapted, simplified, and even created entirely new forms to suit Japanese grammar—giving rise to separate onyomi (Chinese‐style) and kunyomi (native) readings. Today’s daily kanji flashcards let you engage with this heritage: each symbol you learn is a bridge across time and culture. By practicing just five kanji a day, you not only build practical vocabulary, you also connect to a 1,500-year tradition of literature, art, and scholarly exchange that continues to inspire learners worldwide.
