Introduction to Kanji Master

Kanji Master is a cross-platform desktop application built in Rust, designed for learning Japanese. The main focus is on studying kanji: their readings, stroke order, and usage in vocabulary.

The application uses:

• egui / eframe for the graphical interface
• rusqlite for working with the kanji database

Key Features

• Kanji Database & Search Search for characters by shape, meaning, readings (onyomi/kunyomi), and JLPT levels.
• Draw & Search Draw kanji directly on the screen using your mouse or stylus to find characters you don’t know how to read.
• Stroke Order Animation Visualizes the correct stroke order for each kanji.
• Kana Reference & Romaji Converter Complete tables for Hiragana and Katakana, plus a smart Romaji to Kana converter with a built-in Kanji Assistant.
• Anki Export Select kanji, review them, and export them directly to a TSV file ready to be imported into Anki.
• Localization & Custom Translations Full support for switching the interface language (TOML) and editing kanji meanings (JSON) via a built-in Translation Tool.
