About this product

Product Information

This is a handy reference book designed as an essential companion to the study of written Japanese. A best-seller trusted by beginning and intermediate students since 1959 and now in its third edition, this affordable study guide includes all 1,945 current joyo kanji. Detailed entries for all 1,009 "essential" kanji include stroke order, meanings, and pronunciation. The book is divided into two sections: The first section presents the 1,006 Essential characters prescribed by the Japanese Ministry of Education to be taught during the six years of Japanese elementary school. These characters are given with their most frequent readings (both on and kun ) and definitions, along with example of their use in compounds to form everyday words. Each character is also accompanied by a stroke-order diagram demonstrating the proper way to write it . The second section presents the 1,945 General Use characters (including the 1,006 Essential characters) adopted by law to be used in publications for a general readership. These characters are listed with their readings and definitions, or with cross reference to the first section of the book if they already appear there. The student's ability to read Japanese and write Japanese are reinforced without. A chart for writing of the katakana and hiragana syllabaries is also included, as well as a complete index of readings of all the characters and compounds in the book. Mastering the Japanese characters presented in the book will enable students to read the vast majority of Japanese newspapers and magazines. This book contains: The 1,006 Essential characters arranged by grade. The 1,945 General Use characters arranged by stroke order. Full range of readings and English definitions.

  • A Guide to Reading & Writing Japanese

    A strong point of Sakade's Guide is that it can be used as an inexpensive alternative to a Japanee-electronic dictionary (especially the compact 1961 2nd edition, the hard-to-find paperback version is best).
