I am learning Japanese using the "Japanese in Mangaland" series. I have found this book to be very useful when working through the program. The Kanji are ordered in a progressive order of difficulty, also it builds on what you have already learned, so the process is easier than expected.
The kanji are depicted with brush calligraphy and also written with a ballpen. Old versions of the kanji, in use prior to 1947 are also given. The on yomi and kun yomi readings are provided as well as the modern Mandarin reading. Of course several English meanings are given and examples of its use in phrases.
Two important appendixes are the listing by number of strokes and a reading to kanji list. If you know the reading, the reading to kanji list is very easy to use. The number of strokes kanji listing is useful, but the kanji are very small, and those of us with any degree of presbyopia may need a magnifying glass for the more complicated kanji.
I highly recommend it, and think it should prove very helpful for any level student.
 The only Kanji book you'll need! A must for any Japanese student! October 15, 2007

First off, this is not a dictionary. As titled, it is 2,000 of the most commonly used kanji you'll need to understand Japanese. I used this book during college (my major was Japanese and World Business, Univ. of TN) and I somehow lost it and did miserably in my classes without it. The book has two ways to reference the kanji; the first is the onyomi or hiragana spelling, the second is by stroke count. Like I said, get this book if you're taking Japanese classes, it will make your life much easier as the course gets more advanced.
too much western style, but a classical October 7, 2007

Don't trust too much about ethimologies, they are not so accurate, but they are ther to help the reader to memorize.
There is something better now, but this was for ages the only sensible book to try to master Kanji.
Every student had one, and it's still very good, more for reharsal then to learn from the scratch
Useful and Practical September 18, 2007
I like this book! It's so easy to study kanjis with this book!
A list of 2000 kanji containing relevant information on each of them like sound, meaning, reading examples, etc
Also, easy to find kanji by number of strokes, by radical or english aphabetical.
Even gives you ideas of how to designing your own flashcards...
I am learning japanese and i've been able to memorize easy kanji with it. Summing up, you won't regret buying this 2000 kanji book! :)
