The Scheme of Kanji

山、川、人、愛、美、日本 etc...

Have you ever seen this letter? Yes, It is called "Kanji".

People who learn Japanese difinitely face with Kanji, and because it looks complicated, many people give up to learn Kanji.

Even though Japanese learn Kanji from elementary school, some Kanji are hard for us too.

However, I think it is interesting to know the scheme of Kanji; you do not have to memorize Kanji.

For example, 山 (yama) means mountain.

the scheme of 山 (mountain)

As you can see the scheme above, Kanji was made from its shape or appearance.

the scheme of 川 (river)

Here is the story I like.

心(kokoro) means mind or heart. This is from the atrium of the heart.

愛 (ai) means love.  Everybody loves this word right? haha

Can you find the interesting point about this Kanji?

When you people love someone, you need to love with your mind. You have to put that mind in you heart. Center of it.

Now you can guess huh?

Yeees you are right~!!

That is why you can find 心 in the middle of  愛 *wink

Ahhhhhhhh lol

Here is interesting youtube video. The title is "Cool Kanji" haha
