"Students of the Japanese language will particularly welcome...this dictionary, for it provides them with an up-to–date and authoritative guide to modern Japanese characters."--Curtis W. Stucki, Library Journal "As a replacement for the long serviceable Rose-Innes Beginner's Dictionary of Chinese-Japanese Characters, this new compilation offers many advantages: a lager number of characters...more readings still in current use...and a greatly expanded listing of compounds...As an example of book design, little more could be asked of this volume." --Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies By far the most interesting dictionary I have ever read. No, really! The feeling of power you get when you've finally learned how to look up characters is incredible. Think about it. They can't be in alphabetical order, right? Just flipping through the dictionary, looking at random entries, drives home how different Japanese culture is from Western. You're constantly discovering words that you hadn't even suspected might be useful." -Goodreads "As a replacement for the long serviceable Rose Innes Beginner's Dictionary of Chinese Japanese Characters, this new compilation offers many advantages: a lager number of characters more readings still in current use and a greatly expanded listing of compounds As an example of book design, little more could be asked of this volume."
