If you are crazy of linguist as I am then you might be interested in Chinese etymology
chineseetymology.org http://www.chineseetymology.org
I finally found the site where I can search for the 解字, old kanji used for inkan (personal stamps). The best thing is it is all for free. Now I have to get my inkan made again.
