JLPT N4 kanji. Readings, meaning, and how the character is built.
楽 means easy, fun, music. It is a JLPT N4 kanji written in 13 strokes, read らく or がく. It contains 木 (tree, wood), and at least one further part our source data does not name. It appears in 音楽 (Music) and 楽しい (enjoyable / fun).
楽 is written in 13 strokes, in the order numbered below. Order matters: it is what makes handwriting legible, and it is how the character is looked up in a paper dictionary.
楽 breaks into 1 part.
| Word | Reading | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 音楽 | おんがく | Music |
| 楽しい | たのしい | enjoyable / fun |
| 楽む | たのしむ | to enjoy |
These use 木 too. The part keeps its job from one character to the next, which is what makes it worth learning once.
