Having generated such enormous enthusiasm for ‘collecting’ kanji, I’ll let the activity run for a few days. Let me describe what I’m doing.

I’m building up an Excel document. I’m going through HP1 from page 1, listing the kanji when they first appear in the narrative. Then I do a search through the story for a phrase that contains each kanji. I’m also looking for kanji compound words’ of two or more characters.

At first, I wanted only one of each kanji. But now, I’ll collect multiple examples if they ‘feel’ new. Otherwise it gets too much of a search.
