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 \u003ci\u003eKanji Dictionary\u003c\/i\u003e. In all, this Japanese dictionary lists the most important 2,882 characters and 12,073 multi-character compounds, including all 1,945 \u003ci\u003eJoyo Kanji\u003c\/i\u003e decree for general use plus all 284 \u003ci\u003eJinmei-yo Kanji\u003c\/i\u003e sanctioned for use in given names. In addition, the most frequently used approximately 700 surnames and 600 given names have been added. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne feature that makes this dictionary particularly useful for a beginner, or anyone else wishing to learn Japanese, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis handy character dictionary includes: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2,882 character entries and 12,073 compounds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharacter entries are according to the system of 79 Radicals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnglish-Japanese and Japanese-English Sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInformation about writing, form, structure, etc. of each of the characters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 700 surnames and 600 given names.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn alphabetical pronunciation index.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51343229583583,"sku":"9780804835565","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/j3CBmleSxz9780804835565.webp?v=1788738662"},{"product_id":"japanese-kanji-and-kana-workbook-a-self-study-workbook-for-learning-japanese-characters-paperback","title":"Japanese Kanji and Kana Workbook: A Self-Study Workbook for Learning Japanese Characters - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaster the Japanese Writing System with Confidence--All in One Workbook!\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis comprehensive and easy-to-use workbook is your all-in-one guide to reading and writing Japanese.
