The Heisig Kanji Stories
This blog features my own stories (and some inspired from others) on the kanjis in lesson 20 to 56 of Remembering the Kanji v. 1 by prof. Heisig. I know it’s full of spelling mistakes and sometimes confusing notes - because it is just that – my own notes.
However, I put it up here in case you can make any use of it.
