This is not intended as any criticism of Conning's 2013 Kanji Learner's Course : his 2,300 kanji should be viewed as a selection from the larger 2nd ed. of  Halpern's Kanji Learner's Dictionary. But it is a good indication that something on the order of 3 to even 5 thousand kanji are needed to read literary Japanese with 3000 a likely minimum for literacy beyond the daily news.

ONH kanji not KLC in MFNK

These 54 kanji found in Bashō's 奥の細道 or Oku no hosomichi [ONH] are not found in KLC* but can be found in the 2,500 MFNK or "most frequent newspaper kanji" used by jisho.org, edrg and others.  The new Halpern KLD 2nd ed uses a set of 3,000 but on the web perhaps these can be found more readily as the K2500 :

Do you recognize all these kanji from self/snake to ???

These are jōyō kanji considered to have the same radical :

己

包

妃

忌

改

泡

抱

胞

巻

紀

砲

配

起

記

圏

Can you print this and put katakana to them for ON-yomi and hiragana for kun-yomi ? And a mnemonic ? But in addition to these, 2140 in the 2.5K newspaper kanji is

已
