The main goal of this book is to help those who are studying Japanese as a second language. For this reason, the book is centered on a specific Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) level. This first book, of the Japanese Kanji Mnemonics Series, focuses on the 103 Japanese characters (kanji) found on the N5 level test and it assumes the reader has knowledge of the two Japanese alphabets (Hiragana and Katakana).
