The Kodansha Kanji Dictionary-a revised, expanded edition of Jack
Halpern's groundbreaking New Japanese-English Character
Dictionary-is the most complete, linguistically accurate, and
up-to-date dictionary of its kind. The culmination of more than
twenty years of labor-some one hundred man-years-this authoritative
and easy-to-use dictionary has been celebrated the world over by
students and teachers of the Japanese language for its wealth of
detailed information on the meanings and usages of Sino-Japanese
characters.
The first-ever guide to native-Japanese words that sound the same but are written with different characters, often with subtly different meanings. The KODANSHA KANJI USAGE GUIDE enables learners to deepen their understanding of how script is used in contemporary Japanese. The first Japanese-English resource devoted exclusively to kun homophones, the book presents detailed usage articles that show the differences and similarities for 675 homophone groups, or 1590 kanji headings - the vast majority of single-character kun homophones in current use.
Jack Halpern is a renowned expert in East Asian linguistics and author of Kodansha's best-selling written Japanese resource The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary. He has been working for many years on this ground-breaking new reference work which enables intermediate and advanced learners to explore the nuances of closely related characters by studying them together, rather than as isolated units.
