Common readings

On readings

On (音) readings are based on the original Chinese pronunciation of a kanji. They are typically used when a kanji appears as part of a jukugo (kanji compound).

For example, in 日本, 日 is read as に, one of the on readings.

On readings are typically written in katakana.

ショウ

Kun

Kun readings

Kun (訓) readings are uniquely Japanese. They are typically used when a kanji is used singly as part of a Japanese conjugated verb.

For example, 行く is read as いく (to go). In this case, the く of 行く is known as 'okurigana'. In Kanshudo, okurigana are differentiated using a dark gray color (versus black for the characters that represent the reading of the kanji itself).
