Bone (骨) up on your radical characters with this visual celebration of the origins of the Chinese script (文) system.
“A Radical View” features 194 of the 214 Kangxi radicals, color(色)-coded by theme (like Nature, Society, Animals) and arranged to show connections that tell stories of an ancient time. Learn the large (大) font radicals first—these pictographs have relatively few strokes and are the building blocks to make many other characters.
This color (色)-ful eye(目)-catching map is printed on white (白) FujiFilm Satin Photo Paper (270 gsm, 10.8 mil) with a luster finish.
Yours is the first arrangement I’ve ever seen that puts the radicals into a narrative framework that makes sense (and facilitates learning by association). Pretty amazing!
