Japanese — reference DB

Large reference database: per-kanji entries and radical breakdowns. ~3,900 files. Read-mostly — the agent looks things up here, it does not actively rewrite content.

What lives here

• Kanji/ — one file per kanji, with readings, meanings, example words.
• Radicals/ — one file per radical, with constituent kanji and mnemonic hooks.

What does NOT live here

• Active study notes (grammar, lesson takeaways, helper verbs) → _index.
• Course material → shinkansen-n2 (copyrighted, unpublished).
• Working prompts / derivations → Japanese.

Conventions

• Filename = the character itself (e.g. 漢.md) or the radical’s canonical form.
• Per-entry frontmatter is optional — these are reference stubs, not authored notes.
• When a kanji/radical is cited from an active-study note, link back here rather than inlining the info.
