VISUAL KANJI
DON’T JUST
MEMORIZE KANJI.
SEE IT.
Michi turns selected kanji into visual memories, helping you connect the character with its meaning before you practice recall.
✓Understand the idea. Link shape and meaning visually.
✓Recall before reveal. Test memory instead of passive reading.
✓Keep the real kanji. The visual supports learning — it does not replace the character.
