An illustrated Japanese-learning app covering vocabulary, kanji, handwriting, quizzes, stories, sentence building, and spaced repetition.

Why it surfaced

Japanese Deck promises an unusually complete study path: 8,129 words, all 2,136 Jōyō kanji, 471 conjugated verbs, 400 sentence puzzles, and 12 graded stories. Its distinguishing touch is tactile and handmade—each educational kanji gets its own illustration, with the project described as having begun as one learner’s personal study deck in Hawaii.

August 15’s newborn domains include a live-aboard hydrogen airship with a two-tonne lift problem, a Japanese toolbox that explains its assumptions, an advisory-by-advisory Hawaiʻi hurricane archive, and a wedding-gift game about ungrateful poultry.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-15 Domain Arrivals issue.
