Abstract(in English) A quantification method of legibility of handwritten kanji characters is introduced. This method adopted some variables corresponding to the porperty of human cognition : global features and local features of characters. By this method, we could predict human decision about legibility of handwritten kanji characters at about 90% precision level. On the other hand, we analyzed human cognition of these characters by a factor analysis. This analysis abstracted 4 factors : readability, dimness, poorness, and clearness. Among them, readability and dimness were interpreted as the main indicators of legibility. The prediction of the quantification method fitted with this legibility very well.
