On (音) readings are based on the original Chinese pronunciation of a kanji. They are typically used when a kanji appears as part of a jukugo (kanji compound).
For example, in 日本, 日 is read as に, one of the on readings.
On readings are typically written in katakana.
Kun readings
Kun (訓) readings are uniquely Japanese. They are typically used when a kanji is used singly as part of a Japanese conjugated verb.
For example, 行く is read as いく (to go). In this case, the く of 行く is known as ‘okurigana’.
