And his first love was naturally books especially old and rare editions. Tuttle Publishing Company, which thrives today as one of the world s leading independent publishers.

Though a westerner, Charles was hugely instrumental in bringing a knowledge of Japan and Asia to a world hungry for information about the East. By the time of his death in , Tuttle had published over 6, books on Asian culture, history and art a legacy honored by the Japanese emperor with the Order of the Sacred Treasure, the highest tribute Japan can bestow upon a non-japanese. With a backlist of, titles, Tuttle Publishing is more active today than at any time in its past inspired by Charles core mission to publish fine books to span the East and West and provide a greater understanding of each.

No part of this publication may be reproduced or utilized in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopying, recording, or by any information storage and retrieval system, without prior written permission from the publisher. The main part of the book now lists,4 kanji formerly, In addition, with its 9 tables, it presents a fresh, modern design.

A feature of this handbook is its double usefulness as both a textbook and a reference work. It serves beginners as well as those who want to look up individual kanji via the three indexes. And the many tables provide a quick overview of all important aspects of the Japanese writing system. The information is so organized and presented the pronunciation of each character is spelled out in roman letters as to allow easy entry into the Japanese writing system for beginners and those who are learning on their own, providing the background anyone needs to know to become able to read Japanese without constantly looking up one kanji after another.

All the information about the hiragana and katakana syllabaries and the kanji is based on the official orthography rules of the Japanese government. This work is divided into three parts:. Introductory chapters A general introduction to transliteration is followed by a presentation of the two sets of phonetic characters, the hiragana and the katakana called collectively the kana. Then comes a section devoted to punctuation. Next is a general introduction to the world of the ideographic characters, the kanji: The order of presentation is based on pedagogical principles, proceeding from simple, frequent kanji to those that are more complex and occur less often.

Within this general framework, characters that are graphically similar are presented together in order to call attention to their similarities and differences in form, reading, and meaning. Each head-kanji is set in a modern, appealing font, and is accompanied by: Under each head-kanji are listed up to five important compounds with reading and meaning.

These compounds are made up of earlier-listed characters having lower identification numbers 6. So working through the kanji in the order they are presented in this book will make it easier for you to build up a vocabulary while reviewing what you have learned before. Each compound is labeled with the numbers of its constituent kanji, for quick review lookup. In all, the kanji list and compounds contain a basic Japanese vocabulary of over, words.

Indexes Each of the,4 characters in the kanji list can be looked up via three indexes at the end of the book: Acknowledgments The revision of this book is owed primarily to Mr. Rainer and Seiko Weihs, who prepared and proofed all the data in their usual competent, patient, detailed way and produced the typographically complex work you hold in your hands. The quality of the data was considerably improved by the many additional suggestions of Mrs.

To all of them we express our heartfelt thanks. KiM 0 Game and tutorial program. KV 0 Web-based Japanese-English character dictionary. Contains about 6, head-kanji and 48, multi-kanji compound words. Kanji These ideographic characters, adopted from the Chinese language, are used for conceptual words mainly nouns, verbs, and adjectives and for Japanese and Chinese proper names.. Hiragana Written with hiragana are the inflectional endings of conceptual words as well as all words, mostly of grammatical function, that are not written in kanji.

Katakana Katakana are used to write foreign names and other words of foreign origin, and to emphasize individual words. There has never been an independent, purely Japanese system of writing. Around the seventh century the attempt was first made to use Chinese characters to represent Japanese speech. In the ninth century the Japanese simplified the complex Chinese ideographs into what are now the two sets of kana hiragana and katakana.

Each of these kana syllabaries encompasses all the syllables that occur Japanese, so it is quite possible to write exclusively in kana, just as it would be possible to write Japanese exclusively in romanization. In practice, however, this would hamper communication due to the large number of words that are pronounced alike but have different meanings; these homophones are distinguished from each other by being written with different kanji.

Japanese today is written either in vertical columns proceeding from right to left or in horizontal lines which are read from left to right. The traditional vertical style is seen mostly in literary works. The horizontal European style, recommended by the government, is found more in scientific and technical literature. Newspapers use both styles: Handwritten Japanese may be written either vertically or horizontally.

There, each kana, and each kanji from to , is presented twice in gray for tracing over, followed by empty spaces for free writing. Here the conventions governing the use of kanji and kana for different types of words aid the reader in determining where one word ends and the next begins. All the characters within a text are written in the same size; there is no distinction analogous to that between capital and lowercase letters. As with roman letters, there are a few differences between the printed and handwritten forms, which sometimes makes character recognition difficult for the beginner.

In order to familiarize the student with these differences, each of the,4 kanji presented in the main section of this book and in the practice manuals appears in three ways: Within the printed forms of kanji, there are various typefaces, but the differences between them are usually insignificant. In handwriting with brush or pen , three styles are distinguished:. The standard style kaisho , which is taught as the norm in school and is practically identical to the printed form. All the handwritten characters in this volume are given in the standard style..

And let it be noted that there is also a Japanese shorthand intended for purely practical rather than artistic purposes. Since the s Japanese has been written less often by brush, pencil, and pen, and more often by keyboard. But even if your goal is simply to be able to read, and the need to eventually write Japanese by hand seems slight, writing practice is still worthwhile, because it familiarizes you with the characters, fixes them in your mind, and gets you to notice details that can help in recognizing characters and being able to look them up in a character dictionary.

And perhaps writing practice will stimulate an interest in calligraphy, one of the oldest of the Japanese arts. So why haven t the Japanese adopted such an alphabet to replace a system of writing which even they find difficult? The answer lies in the large number of homophones, especially in the written language: Other rational as well as more emotional considerations, including a certain inertia, make it very unlikely that the Japanese writing system will undergo such a thorough overhaul.

In 95 the Japanese government issued recommendations for the transliteration of Japanese into roman letters. Two tables on pages and 3 summarize the two recommended systems of romanization, which are both in use today and differ only slightly from each other:. The Hebon-shikii was developed by a commission of Japanese and foreign scholars in and was widely disseminated a year later through its use in a Japanese-English dictionary compiled by the American missionary and philologist James Curtis Hepburn in Japanese: In Hepburn romanization the consonant sounds are spelled as in English, and the vowel sounds as in Italian.

The Hepburn system allows an English speaker to approximate the original Japanese pronunciation without the need to remember any unfamiliar pronunciation rules, and is therefore less likely to lead a non-japanese into mispronunciation. A good illustration of this is the name of Japan s sacred mountain, which is spelled Fuji in the Hepburn system but misleadingly as Huzi in the kunrei system.

That is why the transliterations in this book are spelled with Hepburn ro- manization. The following transliteration rules are taken from the official recommendations. The examples as well as the remarks in parentheses have been added.. When needed to prevent mispronunciation, an apostrophe [ ] is inserted to separate the end-of-syllable sound n from a following vowel or y: Assimilated, or stretched, sounds soku-on are represented as in Italian by double consonants: In practice the simpler macron [ ] has become prevalent: The lengthening of i and in words of Chinese origin of e is indicated by appending an i: For the representation of certain sounds there are no binding rules.

Short, sudden brokenoff vowels at the end of a word or syllable glottal stops, or soku-on are denoted in this book by adding an apostrophe: Proper names and the first word of every sentence are capitalized. The capitalization of substantives is optional: The only real problem in romanizing Japanese text, in which there are no spaces between words, is in deciding where one word ends and the next begins. Basically, it is recommended that independent units thought of as words should be written separately: Hon o sagashite iru n desu.

Hyphens serve clarity by separating word units without running them together in a single word: For sake of legibility, compounds made up of four or more kanji should be partitioned into units of two or three kanji each: But we will refrain from any further discussion of proper romanization, which in any case is just a side-issue in a work whose aim is to get the learner as soon as possible to the passive and active mastery of the original Japanese text. The characters were used phonetically to represent similar-sounding Japanese syllables; the meanings of the characters were ignored.

In this way one could represent the sound of any Japanese word. But since each Chinese character corresponded to only one syllable, in order to write a single multisyllabic Japanese word one had to write several kanji, which frequently consist of a large number of strokes. Toward the end of the Nara period 70 and during the Heian period 85 these symbols underwent a further simplification, in which esthetic considerations played a part, resulting in a stock of phonetic symbols which was extensive enough to represent all the sounds of the Japanese language.

This was the decisive step in the formation of a purely phonetic system for representing syllables. These simple syllable-symbols, today known as hiragana, were formerly referred to as onna-de, ladies hand, since they were first used in letters and literary writing by courtly women of the Heian period, who were ignorant of the exclusively male domain of Chinese learning and literature and the use of Chinese characters. But the hiragana gradually came to prevail as a standard syllabary. The hiragana syllabary in use today was laid down in the year in a decree for elementary schools.

Two obsolete characters were dropped as part of orthographic reforms made shortly after World War II. As a result, today there are 46 officially recognized hiragana. The now-obsolete kana that were dropped by the above decree, and which were derived from different kanji, are called hentai-gana deviant-form kana. Katakana The katakana symbols were developed only a little later than the hiragana. While listening to lectures on the classics of Buddhism, students wrote in their text notations on the pronunciation or meaning of unfamiliar characters, and sometimes wrote commentaries between the lines of certain passages.

Doing so required a kind of note-taking shorthand. This practice resulted in the development of a new phonetic script based on Chinese characters, the katakana syllabary. Each katakana is taken from one component of a kaisho-style Chinese character corresponding to a particular syllable. This makes the katakana more angular than the hiragana, which are cursive simplifications of entire kanji. In a few cases the katakana is only a slight alteration of a simple kanji: As with the hiragana, the final form of the katakana in use today was prescribed in in a decree for elementary schools.

And the number officially recognized katakana is today 46, the same as for hiragana. A kana takes on not just the form of the kanji from which it is derived, but also its adopted Chinese pronunciation, called its on reading. Three kana are exceptions: The pronunciation of a word written in kanji that the reader might not know how to read can be specified by marking the kanji with little kana, usually hiragana. These annotation kana for indicating pronunciation are called furigana. In horizontal writing they are written above the kanji, and in vertical writing they are written to the right of the kanji for examples, see page 3.

The derivation tables on the following two pages show which kanji each kana is derived from. It is based on Indian alphabets which, like the Devanagari alphabet today, order their syllables according to their articulatory phonetics. Around the year people in Japan began to arrange the Japanese syllables and syllable-characters, which had been in use since early in the Heian period, into a sequence according to their pronunciation following the Indian example.

Of the 46 characters in all, 40 are arranged in groups of five each that belong together phonetically; five are arranged in corresponding slots in this arrangement, and one lies outside this arrangement. The table appears in two formats: In the vertical arrangement, the characters in the Fifty-Sounds Table begin with the right column and are read from top to bottom. Thus the Japanese syllable alphabet begins a, i, u, e, o; ka, ki, ku, ke, ko,. This systematic ordering makes it easy to memorize the Japanese aiueo alphabet.

The end-of-syllable sound n lies outside the scheme of the Fifty-Sounds Table, because purely Japanese words do not use this sound. The n was not tacked on to the Fifty-Sounds Table until Chinese characters and their pronunciation made their way into the Japanese language. The Fifty-Sounds Table can be written in either hiragana or katakana.

Let it be noted that the major writing systems of the world arrange their characters by any of three different principles. The European alphabets are based on the oldest Semitic alphabet, which is ordered according to meaning and pictorial similarity; the Arabic alphabet is ordered according to the form of its characters; while the Devangari alphabet of India, with which Sanskrit and Hindi is written, is ordered according to the sounds of the characters.

Despite their fundamental differences, the three basic alphabet systems have some commonalities, including putting the vowel a at the beginning of the alphabet. Two diacritical marks make it possible to represent beginning-of-syllable consonants that cannot be represented by the unmodified kana. Thus the muddied, that is, voiced sounds g, z, d, and b called daku-on are denoted by putting a mark [ ], called a daku-ten or nigori-ten, on the upper right of the corresponding unvoiced kana. And the half-muddied sound p- handakuon is denoted by putting a mark [ ], called a handaku-ten or maru, on the upper right of the corresponding h- kana.

Combinations of kana are used to represent some sounds, most of which were adopted 8. The assimilated sounds do not appear in the usual syllabary tables. Shown here are a few examples of how they are spelled and romanized. But with any alphabet of characters that have variants, when alphabetizing a list of words, we need tie-breaking rules to decide which of two words comes first when they differ only by length e.

One solution others are possible is given in Table 6, in which the alphabetical order proceeds down the columns, taking the columns from right to left. Table 7 gives examples of words sorted into kana alphabetical order, taking the columns from left to right. One way to get a different alphabetical order from any set of characters is to arrange them in a perfect pangram, in which every character occurs just once. For example, the 6 letters of the English alphabet can be rearranged into the odd sentence TV quiz jock, Mr. PhD, bags few lynx. And something similar happened with the kana during the Heian period: This Iroha poem is reproduced line by line on page, along with a translation.

Romanized Japanese can be alphabetized as in English, and this is done in Japanese-foreign language dictionaries.
