Joyo Grade 4 kanji
200 kanji - the full Grade 4 set from the Ministry of Education's Joyo list.
Grade 4 of the Joyo kanji list introduces more abstract concepts - behaviour, society, government, and the early vocabulary of civics. The characters mark the transition from concrete daily-life kanji to the more abstract language of formal writing.
Grade 4 is the level at which Japanese reading material starts to feel adult. New kanji cover abstract qualities (effort, success, failure), social concepts (citizen, community, organisation), the language of government (election, vote, parliament), and a wider set of verbs for actions that are more reflective than physical (consider, decide, change). The Ministry deliberately weights Grade 4 toward characters whose meanings require explanation rather than depiction - you can draw a picture of "mountain" but not of "responsibility". Many Grade 4 kanji also have multiple distinct meanings depending on context, and learners at this level have to start memorising which meaning applies in which compound. The set is the foundation for civics education and the early vocabulary of news reading.
