Impeccable presentation book and clear to use. It can be broken down into three parts. The first, the hiragana syllabary study all the signs of the syllabary and the order of sign features. It is also planned spaces to practice reproduce it. It's the same for the signs of katakana syllabary (second part). The third part is devoted to the study of 600 Chinese (kanji) with their meanings and rigorous order of the constituent features and beaches for breeding exercises. These are 600 Chinese characters that a Japanese child should know at the end of his course of primary years. Too bad that the number of Chinese of this book is limited to 600, the official list of kanji published by the Japanese Ministry of Education in 1850 and recognizes the use stood at around 2,000 (which would read " easy "from a newspaper or a book). There are no plans that I know of second volume to this book.
