This is just fun to read on some of the history on the Kanji and briefly talked about the Chinese side to the story as well as how the Japanese used it.

It does not go into pages of detail of each one but a quick paragraph, enough to where you can kind of guess about the other kanji one could come across.

This book also showed 5 different writing styles, ie. New Times Roman, cursive, and such.
