Summary: Wonderful resource.
Comment: Wonderful Flash Cards! A lot easier than one of those "complete books" of Kanji, at least for my purposes. My class just started doing Kanji we do about 15 per lesson. So i just grab the ones I am doing that week and stick them in my binder. They are very helpful nice big pictures, they are sturdy and don't bend to easy. The stroke order is a must for your Kanji as well, which some books have and some don't. Also you get some nice vocabulary. I would recommend these to any Japanese Student. I have used them plenty!

Summary: Great cards, but what happened to the Mneumonics?
Comment: On the White Rabbit Kana cards, they provide nifty mneumonics for each of the symbols. (These are memory devices to help you remember the symbol). While the features of the Kanji cards are nice, mneumonics would have *really* been useful. If the Tuttle--or any other brand--have mneumonics, I suggest you give them a look. The mneumonics on the White Rabbit Kana cards had a *significant* impact on my ability to memorize them.
To compensate, I have Tuttle's "Remembering the Japanese Characters" (or something like that--I may have misremembered the title), which I strongly recommend. For each character they provide a breif historical analysis and mneumonic. I use Tuttle's book to learn the symbols and the cards to practice. The only headache is that the book and the cards are not in the same order--White Rabbit uses the JPT ordering while Tuttle uses the ordering taught in Japanese elementary school--so I have to order the cards myself.
Still a good product and I'm happy with it.

Summary: If you are looking for the kanjis for JLPT4-3 you MUST buy it
Comment: Complete, perfect. The cards are great, very easy to use. You will see how easy they are when you take them with you all the day long. Waiting at the post office, at the supermarket, at the bank, everywhere will be the right moment to study!
The only thing I didn't like so much is that sometimes you can find compounds that are really *weird* and maybe also Japanese people don't know them :D

Summary: Excellent Study Resource
Comment: I have used many different books, websites, and cards in my quest to learn Kanji, and this set of cards are by far the best I have come across. The cards themselves are very well made, with a plastic coating that has so far proven impervious to wear and tear.
This set has all of the Kanji required for the 4th and 3rd levels of the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test.) In addition to the basic character and it's readings, each card lists several different vocabulary combinations. These include words needed for the lower levels of the JLPT, as well as more complex formulations that will be seen on the 1st or 2nd level of the test. They also list words and phrases that may not appear on the JLPT, but that are useful to know.
While nothing can take the place of a Japanese class or at least a textbook, these Kanji cards are an excellent way to improve you reading and writing skills and expand your vocabulary.

Summary: Quality Flashcards!
Comment: I am very satisfied with these cards- they are of a decent cardstock and as such, have been pretty sturdy. They really are exceptional. A good number of the cards have mnemonics on them, which is great to help you remember the core meaning of the kanji. There is a lot of good information on these cards, so they will be helpful regardless of your stage of learning. My only complaint would be regarding the mnemonic pictures- I wish ALL of the cards had them! A good number of them do though, and sometimes a kanji needs to be learned just as they are, I suppose. Otherwise, I would say these are great, portable and sturdy flashcards that will help you learn regardless of where you are in your Japanese language journey!

Each card also includes the kanji's On and Kun readings, stroke order diagrams, look-alike kanji, and more.
