Stroke Order That You Can Actually See

Getting stroke order right isn’t just about neat handwriting — it’s the foundation of clear, natural-looking kanji and faster recall during exams. That’s why every kanji in our Learn Japanese Kanji Tool includes a precise, replayable animation that shows exactly how each stroke flows and connects.

You can pause, replay, and study every movement until it feels second nature. Watch it once to understand the flow, then practice it yourself on the built-in canvas to build muscle memory step by step.

Practice Pad for Real Handwriting

Never worry about installing extra apps — your kanji practice pad is already in your browser. With our interactive practice canvas, you can write each kanji using your mouse, finger, or stylus just like real handwriting practice.

Whether you’re traveling, working, or just want a quick review between tasks, simply open the tool and start drawing — it works beautifully on phones, tablets, and desktops.

Turn on the hint overlay to see the correct stroke paths, then switch it off as you gain confidence and begin writing from memory. Each stroke you draw reinforces muscle memory and brings you one step closer to mastering real Japanese handwriting.

JLPT Levels & Smart Navigation

Finding the right kanji should be effortless. Our smart navigation system lets you browse by JLPT level or search for any character instantly — all inside your browser, no app required.

Start with the N5 basics to build a strong foundation, then move up to N1 mastery as your skills grow. You can also explore any kanji directly — for example: /learn-japanese-kanji/日 (sample detail).

Each level is designed to flow naturally into the next, keeping your learning organized, motivating, and easy to follow.

What Each Kanji Page Includes

  • Header: Kanji, JLPT level, frequency tag
  • Readings: Onyomi / Kunyomi with usage examples
  • Meanings: Clear definitions and common words
  • Stroke order: Replayable animation
  • Practice: Canvas pad + toggleable hint overlay
  • Navigation: Next / Previous within the same JLPT band

Why This Works

Learning kanji isn’t just about memorizing shapes — it’s about training your brain and hand to work together. By combining visual stroke memory with active writing practice, you engage both recognition and muscle memory, which dramatically improves recall.

You see each stroke in motion, then draw it yourself. That cycle of observation and action helps your brain lock in the correct form, so writing the character starts to feel effortless over time. It’s the same natural process native learners use — now brought directly to your screen.
