Not sure if this has been requested already, but I’d like to see the image generated from the 士 kanji reading mnemonic:
"The most famous samurai in Japanese history was the illustrious sheep (し) samurai. He wasn’t JUST a sheep who learned the ways of the sword, he would use the wool from the sheep enemies he killed to create his armor!
“Picture the sheep samurai. Maybe draw him on a piece of paper. He’s a sheep wearing wool armor, and he has ram horns on the hilt of his katana.”

Also this prompt’s result was interesting too:

Impressive results!
What kanji is this one for, and if I may, which tool are you using to generate those images? I feel they have better quality than the average AI-generated content you see around (5 fingers on each hand, not so awkward kanjis, etc.). Thank you!
Oh, someone had the same idea as me! I used DALL-E 3
Description I provided for the kanji 入:
“A funny anime image with a two panels. The left panel shows someone intrigued as they enter into an old, rundown tepee. The right panel shows the person standing baffled Iooking at a shiny, sparkly new tent.”
Glad to see others have been working on this kind of idea as well! It helps me a lot to have a picture mnemonic, so I started using this prompt to generate image mnemonics in ChatGPT (DALLE)
Here’s my workflow, it’s been helping a lot! Now I just need a way to save these images on each Kanji’s page somehow…
Copy and paste all of the info for the word including the Kanji, meaning, mnemonics, readings and context
Use this prompt:
Your goal is to generate image mnemonics that help me remember the meanings of various Kani. I will give you
The Kanji
The meaning
A story that I want to use to remember it. That story is used to help remember both the meaning and the reading of it.
Your job is to generate an image that helps me tie it all together.
Here’s an example for 男
The image capturing the essence of rice paddy power, symbolized by the efforts of a man running on a large wheel next to the field until dawn, is ready. This visual metaphor embodies the Kanji 男, intertwining the concept of man with the cyclical nature of work and rest.
