kanji walkabout

Here is a screenshot as the kanji mnemonics 'Mansion' applet begins to take shape in the Pale Moon 64-bit browser : jpg image-only.

The kanji to either side are Label objects on ReactiveLabel objects so that a click will give you access to information - can you see at a glance which match our mnemonic panels ?

Using the interior of architecture is the classic approach since at least the Greeks and Romans - but for that we may have to wait for Google Interiors. I may be able to get permission to do a set in the interior of Government House - those might be a rather 'honorific' set of characters.

If you are not comfortable with the URL to a JPG, here is a smaller version:


And here is the applet during testing of re-sizing  constraints:


mahou bushu

The mahou.org radical select page for viewing kanji by bushu has proven more useful than I expected.

The 214 bushu page found at about.com is also useful, but rather different.  For example, at mahou.org I am able to treat take (bamboo) as a radical.

There is a terrific bushu page at denshi jisho which also allows multiple component radicals to be selected when looking for kanji. Once you have a set of results, you can click on each or mouse-over (if you have the Perapera dictionary plugin enabled - or a similar add-on.)
