As I am beginner I can't recomend this product for beginners for learning. This is too much difficult - it's really good idea to start with Volume 1 :-)) But the style of it is excellent.
Best Kanji Cards Available, Even In Japan! October 18, 2007
Before this set went on the market, I tried using some other kanji cards that I bought in Japan, and was disappointed. They all have problems, such as useless vocabulary examples, poor durability, or random organization.
These are the best kanji cards on the market, even in Japan, and are designed especially for English speakers. They're highly durable, and are organized by JLPT level. This ensures that you're learning the most important kanji first.
Learning these JLPT level 2 kanji is not a simple thing. There are over 700 cards, and it takes time, effort and patience. I've now completed a "brief introduction" to all of the cards in this set, and I am astonished at how useful it's been at aiding me in my reading comprehension in my everyday life (I live in Japan). As soon as I learn a new card, I start to see that kanji all around me. It was always there, but now I notice and understand it.
If you've found this product and have already decided that you are determined to learn these kanji, don't think twice about buying. You can do it, with the help of White Rabbit Press!
My only complaint is that there are too many of these cards to learn! But that's the fault of the Japanese, not White Rabbit :-)
There are no better flashcards for Kanji September 14, 2007

I am not usually a review writer, but I have to say something about these cards. I have seen every other popular series of cards. In fact, I've seen every set that advertises itself anywhere that I could find them. I graduated with a major in Japanese for Education K-12, and am currently living and working in Japan. Japanese is my personal hobby, and there is no interest that I spend more time on than on studying Japanese.
And through all of that, I can only recommend White Rabbit Press for Kanji flashcards. No other card set is sufficient for study in my opinion. Why? For many reasons, but the #1 reason: they all use Romaji! Romaji is the use of English letters to represent Japanese characters. For example, Sushi is romaji because it doesn't use the real Japanese characters ( or ). This is unforgiveable, period. You absolutely cannot study Kanji cards with romaji on them. If you do, you are not a serious student of Japanese (or you only do so because you didn't know about these cards).
Second, the other card sets are cheaply made, have few (irrelevant or infrequently used) examples, do not adequately show the stroke order (how to write it), and lack denotations for which character compounds will appear on the JLPT. White Rabbit Press has all of these and more.
And another incredibly stupid thing is that some of the flashcard sets contain the character and the reading on the SAME SIDE! What the heck!? Did they even think about what a flashcard is before they made those lame excuses for study materials?
Don't be fooled. Lots of study materials for Japanese are available, but the vast majority is pure garbage. Can you learn something from them? Sure. Are they good for serious study? Absolutely not. This goes for books, grammar guides, workbooks, tapes, etc. Anything that uses romaji beyond the first or second chapter is pure trash, and not even worthy to be recycled (I'm exaggerating that, of course). Anything that promises quick learning with little effort is a pure lie; it's a sales gimmick to trick you and get a quick buck.
If you're serious, learn the Japanese Kana (katakana, hiragana). Learn them so well that you come to hate romaji. Then, get these Kanji cards and use them like crazy.

The White Rabbit Press flash cards are indeed the best. They are the only kanji cards on the market that provide complete preparation for the kanji portion of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). There are easy to use and fit nicely into the storage box. Also, White Rabbit Press offers exceptional customer service. There was a problem with my order and they addressed the problem and had the cards shipped in less than 24 hours from initial time of order. I was most appreciative. I highly recommend!

I love these cards. Without them, I don't think I would have passed the JLPT Level 2.
