5.0 out of 5 stars
It will help you !!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary (Paperback)
I got hold of my copy while studying in Japan. It is in my opinion the most suitable kanji dictionary available on the market for learners of Japanese. The Kanji are logically structured and easy to look up using the various indexes available at the end of the book. Personally I don't think that the SKIP system of looking up the characters work that well, but sometimes it is usefull. The example usages are the best, not only compounds starting with the actual kanji, but also displays compounds when the kanji is second etc. The only negative to say about this book would be the fact that they have chosen to use romaji instead of kana for the readings.

Wonderful,

This review is from: Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary (Paperback)
A wonderful reference, I use it all the time. I find the lookup system incredibly easy to use - in fact, I haven't learnt how the 'skip' system works, I just seem to be able to find any character I want by 'following my nose' so it must be pretty intuitive.
The addition of stroke orders is useful, as well as highlighting important characters, which means this can be used not only as a dictionary, but as a casual browse. Also, I'm currently studying for the Kanji Aptitude Tests and the dictionary notes which Joyo grade each character belongs to, so I can easily make a decision whether to forget a looked-up character (for now), or note that I'll need it soon, or learn it properly. A little light on compounds maybe, so combined with Spahn and Hadamitzky's "Kanji Learner's Dictionary" you get a formidable duo (although note that Spahn/Hadamitzky do _not_ agree on stroke order/count and radicals with the Japan Kanji Aptitude Testing Foundation - so use this one if you're learning Kanji for exams).

Fascinating and useful, but not a general purpose dictionary,
This review is from: Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary (Paperback)
This is one beautifully laid out book. The subtle use of colour and layout make pages easy to read (and i hope they learn form this for other dictionaries). The wide variety of indexes take up very little space, but still make it possible to find a kanji from the sound, the appearance, or the meaning. The entries are comprehensive, but don't waste lots of space with needless sample sentences. If you're learning japanese Kanji, you will find this book very, very helpful.However, it is not a general purpose dictionary: you will need one of those as well. I only hope you find one as nice as this.
