Interesting. It's hard for me to envision an efficient way of learning Japanese that doesn't involve at least some rote memorization of Kanji meanings and readings (after all, that's even how native Japanese speakers learn). But I'm interested in this approach. I'll pick up Jorden's book and give it a try.
