For more information on these types, see here. In the cascading kanji / search view, kanji are colored by type: Jōyō 日 Jinmeiyō 柏 Hyōgaiji 杖 × OK Common readings On On readings On (音) readings are based on the original Chinese pronunciation of a kanji. They are typically used when a kanji appears as part of a jukugo (kanji compound). For example, in 日本, 日 is read as に, one of the on readings. On readings are typically written in katakana. × OK ビョウ Kun Kun readings Kun (訓) readings are uniquely Japanese. They are typically used when a kanji is used singly as part of a Japanese conjugated verb. For example, 行く is read as いく (to go). In this case, the く of 行く is known as 'okurigana'. In Kanshudo, okurigana are differentiated using a dark gray color (versus black for the characters that represent the reading of the kanji itself). × OK ねこ cat Variants 貓 Notes A Joy o' Kanji essay is available for 猫 - click the badge to download 
The cat is omnipresent in Japan, appearing in nearly every house in olden times and in cat cafes today. Having inspired scads of charming expressions, as well as Hello Kitty and beckoning porcelain figurines, cats have also stimulated the imaginations of creative types from Kuniyoshi to Soseki and Haruki Murakami. Find out why Japanese people have such deep affection for cats. View in the essay collection All Joy o' Kanji essays The essay is also included in the following Thematic Bundles 44 Omnipresent Animals 猿 猫 熊 鹿 Being in Japan means being aware of certain omnipresent animals: the deer who bow to visitors in Nara; the monkeys who bathe in onsens and who fill Monkey Park on Shodoshima; the household cats who have inspired countless sayings, including one meaning "every Tom, Dick, and Harry" because cats are everywhere in Japan; and the fearsome bears who have necessitated bear bells on trails. This bundle shows how the Japanese relate to these species in visual art, in literature from folktales to famous novels, in maneki-neko figurines, in carvings of the three wise monkeys, and more. 
VIEW ESSAYS 55 Size of a Postage Stamp 蚊 狭 猫 涙 These four essays enable you to grouse about having too little. Perhaps you receive a pittance of a salary; both 蚊 and 涙 will help you express disappointment and anger about that, but you'll be talking about an animal's tears, not your own. Or maybe you live in a dime-sized space; if so, 狭 will let you complain that your abode feels crowded and cramped. Alternatively, you might gripe that your garden is tiny; calling it as small as a cat's (猫) forehead will get that point across.
