"One of the best modern texts. Highly recommended." --The Japan
Times Complete, compact and authoritative--this Japanese language
book provides all the information needed to learn kanji and kana,
including the 92 hiragana and katakana phonetic symbols (known
collectively as Japanese Kana) and the 2,136 standard Joyo Kanji
characters that every Japanese person learns in school. This new
and thoroughly revised edition reflects recent changes made to the
official Joyo kanji list by the Japanese government. The kana and
kanji are presented efficiently and systematically which helps you
learn them quickly and retain what you have learned to improve your
mastery of the Japanese language. The ability to read Japanese and
write Japanese is an essential skill for any student and will build
on their previous knowledge and improve their overall capacity to
learn Japanese. A concise index allows you to look up the Kanji in
three different ways (so the book also serves as a Japanese Kanji
dictionary) and extra spaces are provided to allow you to practice
writing Japanese. Japanese Kanji and Kana contains: All 2,136
official Joyo kanji with readings and definitions. Characters are
graded by their JLPT examination levels. Up to 5 useful vocabulary
compounds for each kanji. Brush and pen cursive forms as well as
printed forms. 19 tables summarizing key information about the
characters. Kanji lookup indexes by radicals, stroke counts and
readings.
"The authors have succeeded in the purpose of making it as easy as
possible to look up the readings and meanings of Japanese words
written in Chinese characters." --"The Modern Language Library"
The purpose of this "Learner's Kanji Dictionary" is to offer a
handy and easy-to-use tool to look up the readings and meanings of
Japanese words and names written with Chinese characters (kanji).
Each kanji entry is presented in extra-large form, with its strokes
labeled in order by small numbers 1, 2, 3, ... positioned at the
beginning of each stroke to show how the kanji is to be written.
Handwritten pen and variant forms of the kanji are also given,
along with its general structure and graphemes. This dictionary is
a concise version of the more comprehensive "Kanji Dictionary." In
all, this Japanese dictionary lists the most important 2,882
characters and 12,073 multi-character compounds, including all
1,945 "Joyo Kanji" decree for general use plus all 284 "Jinmei-yo
Kanji" sanctioned for use in given names. In addition, the most
frequently used approximately 700 surnames and 600 given names have
been added.
One feature that makes this dictionary particularly useful for a
beginner, or anyone else, is that every compound is listed under
each of its characters. This multiple listing makes it possible to
look up a compound under whichever of its characters is quickest to
find, and it is a big help in deciphering sloppy handwriting or a
blurred copy. Entries are arranged according to a radical--based
lookup system of the same type used in virtually all character
dictionaries, but with improvements that make it particularly easy
to learn and use. And with the alphabetically arranged index of
kanji readings at the back of the dictionary, the user can look up
a character via any of its known readings (or look up a compound
via any of the readings of any of its characters), without having
to determine radicals or count strokes.
This handy character dictionary includes: 2,882 character entries
and 12,073 compounds.Character entries are according to the system
of 79 Radicals.Information about writing, form, structure, etc. of
each of the characters.Approximately 700 surnames and 600 given
names.An alphabetical pronunciation index.
