*“Kanken” refers to the "Kanji Kentei Shiken," or tests assessing knowledge of Kanji. These tests feature ten levels of difficulty, with Level 1 requiring familiarity with up to 6,000 characters. In recent years, these assessments have garnered considerable interest amongst the Japanese population, and thousands participate annually.
