Looks good. I think "kanji" should be "Chinese characters" here. It's not limited to Japanese.

Maybe it's helpful to have cross-references to the six kanji classes.

Dropping りきしょ. I'm not sure where it came from. I don't see it in my refs, on kotobank, etc. The Hexateuch sense is in gg5 as ろくしょ. The kokugos also have a sense that is equivalent to 六体. I am adding it. The kokugos don't mention the Hexateuch. They treat both readings (りくしょ and ろくしょ) as equivalent for the kanji senses.
