Learn Japanese by exploring the relationships between kanji alongside examples that illustrate their use.
Quickly build mental connections among kanji by searching, exploring the diagram, and finding example sentences. Anywhere you see a kanji, assume you can click or tap it and something will happen.
Color coding is available via word frequency or by JLPT level.
Note that you can also zoom, drag, and re-arrange the diagram however you please.

This site is a prototype, but it's decently usable in its current state. Feel free to see the (currently at a hackathon level of quality) code or contact the author on github.
The idea is to emphasize the word-forming connections among kanji to help learners remember them. At least with hanzi, I've found this more fun and effective than other methods, like studying stroke order, learning radicals or components, writing each character out 100 times, or doing spaced repetition on cards mapping each character to its pronunciation and translation.
