The Japanese written language is composed of three writing systems. At its heart are kanji, or Chinese characters, so called because they are derived from Chinese. These number in the tens of thousands. The other two writing systems are the hiragana and the katakana syllabary, each numbering 48 basic characters. Each hiragana character has an exact corresponding katakana character and vice versa.
This series covers the basic hiragana and katakana characters, along with the diacritics and combinations (when combined with a second character, it is always written one size smaller) that make up the standard possible sound spectrum for the Japanese language, for a total of 104.
Each of the standard 48 characters also include stroke order animations within the application so that beginner users can also learn the correct way to write them.
