Review by Ben Bullock

This is a `list of kanji' book quite similar to 's book@Essential kanji@ in appearance.

The front cover of this book says 当用漢字 (touyou kanji) which is an old system now superceded by the ``jouyou kanji'' (see this AFAQ page for more details). This suggests that the book is somewhat out of date.
