Japanese body parts (cheat sheet)

My Japanese Color Names Cheat Sheet was a hit and thus I decided that it’s time to make a new infographic—this time on human anatomy. As you can see, here as well, the way the Japanese perceive and name different concepts may differ from the way we do in English. For example, both the leg and the foot are called ashi (あし, ⾜), fingers and toes; yubi (ゆび, 指). Overall, however, the body parts nomenclature is fairly straightforward and the vocabulary should be much easier to learn & use in daily life than it is the case with Japanese color names.
