@@ThreeEy It wasn't "borrowed". It's not like Japanese people decided to use Chinese characters. People from the land of China and Korea moved to the land of Japan a long time ago, using the Chinese characters as their language. Japanese people were using Chinese characters because their descendants are from the land where Chinese were used. Kana writing system evolved from Hanzi/kanji as a Japanese original.

If you use that technique but using the primitive elements of the kanji it's even more powerful! For example for spring: Make a story including "spring", "bonsai (top)", and "day/sun(bottom)". A story could be: "Spring is the best season for bonsai, since they get just the right amount of sun to grow properly".
Actually, spring “春” in ancient Chinese is “屯” “屯” look like a growing plants And put “日”(sun) and “艸”(grass in ancient chines) together create a new character “春” 艸 屯 → 春 日
I just want to have a reminder that should be obvious: this is kanji, which is traditionally descended from Chinese, so if you want more similar resources you can look for oracle bone inscriptions or bronze inscriptions

I love this so much! Hope next time Takumi-san will include the romanized kanjis apart from its translations in different languages. I don't know Japanese language very much but I recognize some characters. I don't know the meaning/word translation of each character though. 😅
Kanji is the old Japanese pronunciation of Hanzi. Back during Japanese Asuka/Nara time, China had political & economic hegemony within East Asia. So male Japanese government officials had to learn to read/write Hanzi to communicate for trading trading & diplomat purposes. Back then, Japan were just backwater island(s) fighting amongst themselves with no writing system, just like how England was when the Romans came.
i was doubting about the ancient tooth picture accuracy, but after a small research i found out that ancient chinese people did use sponge bob`s mouth to represent teeth.
