Om dette spil

Life of Kanji Island is a game that helps you understand the ‘meaning’ of Japanese Kanji characters.
Survive the island where all elements are composed of Kanji and master the Kanji!

Features

You can learn the meanings of kanji.

As you play the game, you can naturally learn the meaning of kanji from various information about kanji (color, size, pronunciation, description, and relationship with other kanji).
Once you understand the meaning of a kanji, it will be easier to guess the meaning of a Japanese sentence.

Omit extra information

There are a large number of kanji, each of which has various readings, but there are also many kanji and readings that are almost never used today.
In this game, such kanji are omitted and limited to those used in daily life in Japan today, so that you can efficiently memorize the kanji you need to learn Japanese.

About 200 Kanji that appear in the game

There are more than 10,000 kanji, but the number of kanji used daily in Japan is only about one-tenth of the total.
By playing this game, you can learn about 20%(50% if you include the description!) of the kanji used in daily life.

Explanation against the Background of Japanese Culture

By setting the language setting to Japanese, the explanations of kanji characters are explained in detail against the background of Japanese culture.
