It's in the jisho.org "about" section. "Stroke order data for kanji come from the excellent KanjiVG project, by Ulrich Apel and several contributors." Check out the site
TYVM Sombrero1 I'll check it out!!
Unfortunately I am too stupid to know what do do with the data. I thought they were simple animated gifs or video downloads of the animation strokes. It appears I have to do some programming to make it happen. Is there an easier method?
I think technically all the information needed to use this data is in the documentation (http://kanjivg.tagaini.net/svg-format.html). But I'm unfortunately not very knowledgeable in that regard. I think having these as videos or gifs would make for an immense amount of data. I don't know another way, although there may be one. This seems to be the most widespread one, it's also used by apps like Duolingo and many other dictionary sites, since it uses vector graphics to represent the kanji it's as close to written japanese as it can get in a digitalized manner.
Indeed it wouldn't make sense for the KanjiVG project itself to maintain any more data than necessary, but if you cannot work the data yourself then look what others have done.
For example https://github.com/jcsirot/kanji.gif or https://www.miraisoft.de/anikanjivgx/ or https://github.com/nihongodera/kanjivganimate etc pick one you like / is useful, optionally modify it, should be quite simple to work with it.
Downloading Stroke order animation Data
I'd like to use the stroke order animation in an education video I want to make. Is there an easy way to retrieve it? Or do I need permission?
