Heisig's Remembering the Kanji (RTK) 6th Edition
Language/Japanese
This Japanese deck was made as the deck I was using at the time was insufficient, and I wanted something better.
This is the result, I hope you like it :)
All notes are created in order, so you can learn them without any troubles.
Notes include:
- Kanji and Alternative Kanji
- Keyword
- Heisig Story and Heisig Comment
- Stroke count
- 6th edition frame number
- 5 Koohii stories
- An empty field for a personal story, should you choose to add some
- 4th edition frame number (hidden in default card template)
- Lesson number (hidden in default card template)
- Onyomi (hidden in default card template)
- Kunyomi (hidden in default card template)
The CSS of the deck was purposefully made to resemble the RTK book, and looks nice in light and dark mode.
Tabs are available to swap between Heisig's story/primitive comments, 5 Koohii stories, and a personal user story should you add one.

Note:
Fields that are hidden in default card template will not be visible when reviewing, but they are included in the note.
You can modify the card template as you see fit to include these, or create your own layout.
The choice is yours!

Deck originally based off https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1654787298
The data was scraped from hochanh.github.io/rtk/, and I wrote a Python program to generate the deck.
I applied corrections as in the errata, specifically I swapped the village and town characters as they were incorrect.
I used the Kanji Stroke Orders font from https://www.nihilist.org.uk/Home

| Keyword | carve |
| Story | The two primitives here, circumference and shape, belong naturally to the special connotations that differentiate carving from engraving (see frame 1639). |

| Onyomi | チョウ |
| Kunyomi | ほ.る、-ぼ.り |
| Koohii 1 | Start with a circumference and carve away until you get the shape you want. |
| Koohii 2 | [My primitive for shape is Mystique, the shape-shifter from X-Men.] Mystique the shape-shifter carves obscure markings around the circumfrence of her blue body. |
| Koohii 3 | (Primitive: shape - when you were three you played with Play-Doh.) 彫 : Did anyone else use the circumference of the Play-Doh container to carve circular shapes? |
| Koohii 4 | HINT: There are a lot of good stories on this website using Bruce Lee as a primitive for sign of the dragon (#2008 辰), so you may want to avoid using him for shape. Mystique works well, as suggested by ayoung24. |
| Koohii 5 | HINT: To help me remember that 彡 leans the opposite way as ミ, I am calling that primitive my evil twin. It's mi from the mirror universe. You can also think of it as the three strokes of my evil twin's goatee. STORY: I know the witness saw me carve the entire circumference of the victim's skin, but it wasn't me, officer; it was my evil twin. |

| Kunyomi | ぬ.う |
| Koohii 1 | Good thing I brought some thread, cause I need to sew my pants that I tore up walking through the bushes (see summit (#1562 峰)) before we hit the road to go back down the mountain. |
| Koohii 2 | Spiderman while walking through bushes chasing a villain, rips his suit and stops on the road to sew it up. |
| Koohii 3 | Spider man has to sew a new costume. He slipped while web swinging and fell on a bunch of pointy stuff in the road. Ouch! (See Mcfate's summit (#1562 峰) story for the "pointy" primitive). |
| Koohii 4 | Spiderman has to sew his spider suit after the tryst (#2417 逢) last night. (He had to keep his suit on during the tryst to keep his anonymity). |
| Koohii 5 | After a 逢 tryst (#2417 逢), they will sew a scarlet letter to your clothes with red thread. Or at least, that's how it used to be done. |

| Keyword | ladle |
| Story | If you want to bind up drops of anything - water, soup, lemonade - you use something to scoop these drops up, which is what we call a ladle. See the last drop left inside the ladle? |

| Koohii 1 | A ladle binds drops together. |
| Koohii 2 | Forget about the primative 'bound up'. Imagine instead the shape of a ladle and holding it upside down to drink the last DROP (of water). |
| Koohii 3 | The last drop stays bound to the LADLE. |
| Koohii 4 | I'm bound and determined to get that last drop with this ladle! |
| Koohii 5 | A ladle holding a tiny fart. |
