ようこそ! My for today is 内, inside, within, or among!

This kanij is literally a person 人peeking out of an building 冂.

If you want a really funny way to remember it, think of it as a person peeking out from a vent. XD

にゃりがと, またにゃ!

Happy noontime, and ようこそ! My for today is 後, back or later!

Here's a compound I didn't have space to use: 前後, back and forth. So if you had a lamp swinging back and forth, you could say ランプが前後にやれていた.

にゃりがと, またにゃ,

Whoops! I posted today's without the picture! My bad. Today features 前, front or before.

It's neat how kanji connect. 午前中 - 午 "noon", 前 "before", and 中 "inside" become "inside before-noon", "in the morning".

にゃりがとう, またにゃ!

Good afternyan and welcome to my Today I'm covering 近 (far), the opposite of 遠.

Did you know that this kanji is partially based on an axe? So there's a way to remember it - you have to move close to use it.

またにゃ! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy noon, and welcome to my Today I'm covering 遠, meaning far!

This is the first kanji in the sequence I'm using that incorporates the movement radical 辶. It's important, so please remember it!

I'll see you tomorrow, またにゃ!

Sorry for the delay, and here's my for today! 西, west!

I used 西瓜 (watermelon) as an example, but it's usually written with kana only as すいか. So have a slice on me as thanks for stopping by! にゃりがとう!

I'll see you tomorrow, またあした!

ようこそ! Today's is 東, east!

This is actually one of the kanji used in the famous Touhou (東方) series. ^_^

It also looks like the sun rising behind a tree, so it's easy for me to remember.

にゃりがとう、みんにゃ！またにゃ！

Good afternyan! My next features 南, south!

This kanji now refers to the cardinal direction, but did you know that it originally meant a musical instrument? Probably a drum from the looks of it.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed. ^_^

Welcome to my Today is the first of the four cardinal directions, 北, north!

One thing I noticed is that the 'direction' kanji are used in a lot of Japanese place names. 北 is part of 北海道 (Hokkaido) and 北岳 (Kitadake).

にゃりがとう! ^_^

ようこそ! Today's is 方, direction; it can also mean way or method.

This is almost identical to 万 (10,000),just one additional stroke at the top. It amazes me sometimes how a small change can make a big difference.

Thanks for visiting!

ようこそ to my of the day! Today features 間, interval or space!

As you can see from the examples, this is more of a conceptual kanji; the idea is the sun showing through a partially open gate.

にゃりがとう for stopping by! I appreciate it. ^_^

ようこそ! Today's features 古, old!

This kanji originally meant something like "sturdy", and was represented by a depiction of a shield. It still carries hints of that in compounds like 古典, classic.

にゃりがとう for stopping by!

ようこそ! Today's features 新, new!

Fun fact, this kanji originally meant chopping firewood - you can even see the traces in the the components 立 stand, 木 tree, and 斤 axe.

Language shifts sure are interesting!

Thanks for coming! またにゃ!

ようこそ! Today's is 今, now!

As in, "I am now studying kanji", 今はかんじをべんきょうしています。

One of the best ways to remember kanji is to make up sentences with it, so try your own!

にゃりがとう! またにゃ!

ようこそ! My for today features the last of the four seasons, 冬, winter!

Winter is often considered the "end" of the year, and so that's what this kanji originally meant - end.

It's not the end of my kanji studies though! ^_^

にゃりがとう!

ようこそ! Apologies for the delay, internet is back up and running now.

My today is 秋, fall!

I like how this kanji evokes both trees and fire - since autumn leaves turn red, orange, and yellow. ^_^

にゃりがとう、みんにゃ！またにゃ！

ようこそ! My thankfully not delayed today is 夏, summer!

Incidentally, I was born in the summer, so that's why I tend to have such a sunny disposition. ^_^

Thanks for stopping by, and please feel free to share this with your friends!

ようこそ! Today's is 春, spring!

The etymology of this kanji is really interesting - it's represented by sprouting vegetation plus the sun. Very fitting for spring. ^_^

ようこそ! My for today features 週, week!

I didn't have the space to put 今週 (this week) and 先週 (last week) in the PNG, but knowing the 先(last) 今(this) 来(next) pattern is really useful. ^_^

i.e.

先月 - last month
来年 - next year

ようこそ! My for the day is 分, part/minute/understand!

This is a really all-purpose kanji - you use it to measure parts of things including minutes (parts of an hour), but it's also used to indicate understanding something!

またにゃ!
