The character's meaning, pronunciation (in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese), etymology, the pictograph from which it evolved, and other notes of interest are included. At the bottom of the page the stroke order is shown- the sequence of brush movements, numbered in their traditional order. On each facing recto page is Kaz's own interpretation of the character, full page. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
