Let’s Explore Kanji: A Japanese Character Photo Tour by Bret Mayer is a book about kanji designed to teach the first 100 kanjis taught by Japanese primary school students. The meaning of each kanji is given in Japanese without English translation, which can be either good or bad depending on the approach. A range of exercises are then offered to help you memorize this kanji, from deep reading exercises with audio accompaniment to writing and listening exercises. The book is divided into three chapters, the first two with a confusing title: “Kanji to Remember” and “Kanji to Use in Daily Life”. Beginners who are the first to want to know the most useful kanji and prefer traditional teaching methods will benefit from this book., but you will also get a list of things like the equivalent of kanji in Simplified Chinese.
