Find kanji - Denshi Jisho

This site (classic.jisho.org) will say goodbye to everyone at the end of November 2021.

Thank you for an amazing 15 years — we launched this site back in 2006. But with the birth of our newer jisho.org in 2015, it has been left untouched and the data here is outdated by more than 10 years.

The current jisho.org is actively maintained and regularly updated. We’ll be looking forward to seeing you there!
