The sixth edition of this popular text provides the student of Japanese with a simple method for correlating the writing and the meaning of Japanese characters in such a way as to make them both easy to remember. It is intended not only for the beginner, but also for the more advanced student looking for some relief from the constant frustration of forgetting how to write the kanji, or for a way to systematise what he or she already knows.

In the Chinese writing system, strokes and simple components are nested within relatively simple characters, which can, in turn, serve as parts of more complicated characters and so on.

Through revealing stories, this work aims to provoke reflection on the effects of incivility in our lives, becoming a concise guide on how to live better. We have many words to describe any act of incivility, but few to explain the opposite. The author proposes the term «civility», a way of improving coexistence and with it the quality of our life. This thought goes beyond that of our individual dimension, it creates a collective thought. With these stories, drawn from his own experiences and tales from diverse cultures, Heisig appeals to the reader through examples of civility in action to promote collective thinking in which civility, and with it collective goodness, flourishes.
