Tangorin Frequent 500 kanji

At the KanjiAule I have placed an alternate HTML page of random output of top 500 kanji from tangorin. I have reverted to pre-HTML5 and fixed some HTML validation errors.

Here is a snap :

 

Here is an alternate order page.
I have added a version with only the ON and Kun readings (no translations) for recalling mnemonics without interference.

Values of R000 above ( a total of 26 ) indicate that the kanji was not found in the book Les 500 Kanji.  One should note that a Japanese newspaper is more likely to have mention of politics and military matters than an introductory reader.

kanji over the moon

 
The 100+ Basho haiku mentioning "moon" involve only 376 kanji - and only 45 of those are not in top 3k+ so some reading can be done with a command of only about 500 kanji  — if the compound kanji words formed with some of those 376 are not too obscure or place names ( checked using the Wakan clipboard tool and one of my Basho CURL web pages which also give the poems in hiragana and romaji text. )

The first 8 of the haiku on the "moon" page at kanji.aule-browser.com involve 36 kanji of which only 1 is not "common" in Japanese newspapers : "snoring" !
