I'm just getting started learning my first kanji and finding stroke order for every kanji is easy online. However, what I can't seem to find is an online dictionary or other resource that tells you the stroke ending for each stroke (とめる、はねる、はらう). Does anyone know of such resources?
@NewMetaQuestion There is JavaScript on this page that shows exactly how to write each stroke. At jisho.org enter the kanji, a blank space, then "#kanji". Halfway down the left column, the "[play]" icon is super-imposed over the greyed-out kanji. Press [play] and the kanji is drawn, stroke, by stroke as if for 書道。
Ah, well, I never thought of it that way but I can see how that would make sense since it's a steamed thing. I never considered it because I always put 'manju' in a desertish category.
Looks like at first it was 肉詰めまんじゅう: この人の頭の形に似せて小麦粉の中に肉を詰めたものを饅頭（まんとう）といい、これが日本の饅頭（まんじゅう）の起源となりました。 日本では大正時代に新宿中村屋がはじめて販売し、いつしか『肉まん』と呼ばれるようになりました。 つまり「肉詰めまんじゅう」の省略形が『肉まん』ということになります。
The Hawaiian 'manapua' bao which I always guessed from the literal hawaiian to mean 'power (mana) flower (pua)' also has a 'man' in it, and with Hawaiian pidgin being a portmanteau that mixes in Japanese sometimes, and my new manju->nikuman knowledge, I wondered if it had something to do with manju too. But google says: Its name is a shortening of the Hawaiian mea ʻono puaʻa, meaning "delicious pork thing". All paths lead to man.
