Henkanji
弓-like １ An ancient form of 乃. (の) Resembles 弓, but the topmost horizontal stroke is slightly longer.

弓-like 2 An ancient form of 及 and another character reminiscent of 弓. This was originally one full character, but the main stroke (一) is actually separate.

弓x2 An ancient form of 乃. (の) Two 弓's overlapping each other.

弓-like 4 Meaning: Bud (of a flower) Part of the 弓 family although there is little resemblance between them. It is similar to the simplified Chinese form of 馬. (Horse)

弓-like 5 Meaning: Many flower buds For some reason, this character isn't written with any radicals, even though it is just the ancient form of 弓 stacked up. (In other words, instead of being "two 弓 atop one another", the character is understood to be "4 unrelated strokes" - as if, for instance, the word "to" was understood to be 3 arbitrary pencil marks instead of a combination of the letters t and o)

Kanji 6 An ancient form of 「ハイ」.(character not available) Meaning: Oppose Quite the odd looking character, composed of 或 ("some/a certain...") combined with an upside-down version of itself.

攴部16画（20） Meaning: Govern character not available

部23画（26） Meaning: A spring/fountain gushing with water A self-explanatory and perfectly usable character.

部16画（20） Meaning: A flame's vivacity It's not very clear what this so called "vivacity" may be... (In other words, the japanese meaning is very broad)

角部16画（23） The unsimplified form of a Chinese character (ヒツ). Meaning: "Hichiriki", a small double-reed wind instrument used in gagaku, made of bamboo, with 7 holes in the front and one in the back.

火部16画（20） Meaning: "vivacity of flame" (Same meaning as the previous)

艸部6画（10） An unsimplified form of the Chinese character 葵. (Hollyhock) Composed of the "grass" radical (top) and "crossed forks" (bottom), this kanji contains elements one wouldn't think had anything to do with chinese writing by comparison to modern characters. The simplified chinese version is more proper.

宀部1画（4） An ancient version of 官. (Government) A character containing a strange double loop stroke.

爪部17画（21） An ancient form of 恋. (Love) While it's unusual for a character to contain the circle element, this one has two.

人部3画（5） An ancient form of 陰. (Shadow) This Chinese character is itself an even older form of the old form of 陰. The languid shape of the bottom stroke expresses the associated meaning of "cloud". (This kanji shares a sound reading with the Japanese verb "To cloud up")

山部6画（9） An ancient version of 青. (Japanese Blue) A character containing ● (kuro maru). I wonder if the inside is still calligraphed in proper hand?

口部8画（11） An ancient form of 玄. (Mysterious) This character resembles the common 串. (Skewer) Of interest are the two kuro maru.

長部0画（6） An ancient form of 長. (Long) Someone misplaced a roman "V" in this character. Oops.

厂部13画（15） An ancient form of 虎. (Tiger) In addition to being the old form of "tiger", the central loop becomes the kanji 乂. (cut grass) (This character bears a much stronger resemblance to the Tiger's image which it was based on)

工部1画（4） An ancient form of 巨. (Huge) A combination of 工 (Craftsman) and (character unavailable). "Bizarre" is the only word for it.

非部0画（8） An ancient form of 卯. ("The Hare" in the chinese Zodiac) Has two triangles.

弓部8画（11） An ancient form of 為. (To do) This character is made by mirroring the left hand side of the old form of 弱. (Weakness)

臼部5画（12） An ancient form of 為. (To do) Bears a subtle resemblance to the previous character. The four elements of this character are actually all separate from one another.

囗部3画（6) Meaning: Hole; Deficit; Opening An incomplete character.

幺部19画（22） Equivalent to the character 孳. (Bear children) The upper portion of this character isn't anything special, but the bottom contains a mirrored version of "kemonohen". (kemonohen is the animal radical which is commonly found at the left side of a character (狙　猿　狭) but never mirrored or at the right side)

凵部9画（11） Equivalent to the character 曲. (A musical tune / A bend) A character with an unnerving feeling of three-dimensionality. Blame 凹 and / \.

冖部16画（18） An ancient form of 煙. (Smoke) Character contains a slanted #.

「也」の古字. An ancient form of 也. (To be) A character that contains what appears to be ん. (ん is an extremely common basic Japanese "letter") If you look really hard, you can see an open flame burning at the bottom and a saucepan on top.

二部6画（8） An ancient form of 斉. (Equal) Writing the elliptical top part is not at all simple. They were diamond-shaped in the The Dai Kanwa Jiten. (one of the leading dictionaries of Kanji)

亅部1画（2） Meaning: To hang down / droop Used in the word(s): RYOUCHOU (hanging down) This ridiculous character is 了 (complete) upside down. Despite being used in the compound word "ryouchou", it was written of it that "Since it is so difficult to write correctly, it was rarely chosen for use." Don't make up things that are difficult to write, then! (It's too bad that, unlike this character, the modern day equivalent of hang down (垂) doesn't give off any sense of its meaning)

亅部3画（4） The original form of 幻. (Phantom / Illusion) Now 予 (In advance) is upside down. A nightmare to calligraph.

丨部4画（5） Meaning: Sheep's horn Used in the word(s): KAIKAKU　（bend in the road) The marks are written after achieving a Y shape.

一部4画（5） The same as the chinese character 丑. (The Ox - Second sign of the zodiac)
