Hardest kanji:
"Starts drawing a castle"

[Manceroy]

"so what did you do today?"
"I woke up, wrote a kanji and it was time to go to sleep again"

[shadowdragon_]

“Easy peasy japanesey”
That’s so wholesome

[eobardthawne]

That second one isn't a phrase, it's an entire picture 💀

Imagine handwriting an exam essay about the 108 earthly desires in Japanese—

[ScarletEmber]

him: _finished middle part_
me: "oh no"
him: _continues writing_
me: "OH NO"

[sauerkraut]

It looked like a draft for a building or a house with a lot of windows.

For all those wondering, this isn't a kanji you'd find in a dictionary. It exists, but only because someone created it by incorporating other kanji under the idea that there are 108 worldly desires. I'm sure most realize this, but for those who don't... I'd assume it's read the same as 煩悩 (ぼんのう/bonnou) meaning worldly desires, but don't quote me on it.

That 108 desires kanji almost sounds like a criminal punishment; having to write the 108 desires kanji 108 times would deter anyone from doing wrong again lol

[jenalovelyy]

Me feeling excited because I can read “ichi”:

Me seeing that second kanji: 🥲

[rai]

The sound of the pen and paper gave me 108 strokes of goosebumps

[FaeQueenCory]

"108 Earthly Desires" has some shade in there. Shout out to "woman" being a part of it.

[theplayablecatalog]

This is probably harder then memorizing 100 digits of pi.

[Вох]

*"Hold my Now i will teach you The

[brigitteschmidt]

Me when I first started learning Japanese, thinking that Kanji was optional: easy peasy japaneesy.

[tedlovejesus]

Interestingly, it can be broken down into 12 complete Chinese words,
苦，平 （top 2 words) meaning bitterness, balance
耳，舌，鼻，女，子，身 （left & right) ear, tongue, nose, female, son (or a person), body
惡意，眼，淨染 （middle) evil thoughts, eyes and purification

A few years ago, I was sitting on a bench on the village green. An elderly Japanese woman came and sat on the bench. She took out some stationary, and started writing Kanji. It was really cool to watch. Her handwriting was so visually appealing.

What they teach you vs the exam be like:

[ivanchiasoonkiatmoe]

Imagine your japanese teacher punish you to write the hardest kanji 100 times lol

[dearickangelonej.legaspi]

Imagine if Animes characters had to write this whole kanji everytime they had to use their signature attack, everyone would know how to write it within a month 😂
