Summary: Great Learning Tool Just be on your Guard.
Comment: I used these cards to learn 1st-3rd grade kanji and now I'm on the second box nearing the end (930ji). I wouldn't recommend any other way to learn kanji. It's the most effective learning tool I've found anywhere for the money you pay. Just be careful cause some of the cards are written incorrectly. It's best to also buy Kodansha's Learner's Dictionary to cross check the characters. One example would be "sai"- years old. On the card it is written as the katakana "o". In fact the crossing stroke shouldn't start from the intersection of the two pervious lines. Check a dictionary or a Japanese friend like I did and you'll find that the stroke should be lower. The cards also make a mistake on every card with the radical for bamboo. Its hard to explain whats wrong with it, but ask a native Japanese person or check a dictionary and you'll see what I mean.

Summary: useful, but not the best
Comment: Making your own kanji flashcards is A LOT of work (I've tried it) so I definitely recommend buying a set. I tried these Tuttle cards and then read a review here saying that the White Rabbit Press cards were the best, so I thought I would try them too. (I'm always in the market for anything that is going to save me some time.) Compared to the White Rabbit Press cards, the Tuttle cards are not as useful. The vocabulary words they picked are not always something you would use everday and the definitions are usually just one or two words. Also, I found several mistakes, and I'm still a beginner! The White Rabbit cards are much larger (and thicker) so they had more room for more vocabulary (each card has 6 examples--Tuttle has only four) and the definitions on the White Rabbit Press Kanji Flashcards are more like the ones that you'd find in a dictionary. They show if nouns are countable or uncountable or both, like in "(an) internal medicine." Overall I think the White Rabbit cards are a much better investment. I had to search Google to find them, but I found the author's email address and he said they should be on Amazon soon.

Summary: Try another product
Comment: I have tried hand made cards and the Tuttle Kanji Cards - OK, but easily lost or bent, and hard to organize. I just received the White Rabbit Press Japanese Flashcards - these are keepers! They are the size of standard playing cards, durable, easy to read and have stroke order as well as examples on the cards. And they fit neatly back into their box!
