My name is Baptiste Delannoy, I have been living in Japan for almost 5 years now and until recently, I had never thought it would be useful to spend so much time learning all the kanjis.

My reasons were double:

• Japanese students take several years to study Kanji and still make mistakes
• My level in Japanese was already good enough to pass the JLPT N2 and get a decent data analyst / CRM job for adidas Japan, here in Tokyo.

But then, at the beginning of June 2020, I challenged myself to learn all the 2200 basic kanjis, using Heisig's method, and started to post stories on Instagram about it.

At first, my goal was to finish it in 3 months, by early September.

Theoretically, it is feasible to remember those 2200 kanji if you really commit 1.5/2 hours of your time, everyday for 90 to 100 days.

Pressure of work and commitment to another side-project slowed me down a lot but also gave me the idea for such website.

Here is why:

• Heisig method is to create stories for each of the 2200 kanjis and remember it thanks to those
• Written stories are fine but not everybody is able to have such imagination
• Some people remember better with pictures, videos, illustrations

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this method is better. Consider it as an add-on of Heisig's method, for people that need a visual support.
