Remember the Kanji (Full Set)

This book teaches from the simplest and similar shapes to the more complex. What he does is breaks the kanji down into separate bits which he calls “primitives” and you string all the primitives in a particular kanji together and create a story. The story tells you how to draw the kanji itself as well as the keyword. You can get more information about this method from here, here. Try the method out for yourself, this pdf convinced me to buy the book. :)

And so, by the end of the book you should be able to recognise and write 2042 kanji, including all the Joyo Kanji. Yatta!
