The Kanji Dictionary has been hailed as a revolution in Japanese language reference materials. Including over 47,000 character compounds, it employs a unique multiple-reference compound system: every compound is listed under each of its component characters. This unique, time-saving feature makes finding compounds fast and easy. Entries are arranged according to a simplified radical-based reference system; comprehensive on/kun readings index and a handy radical overview lists add other parameters for searching for entries. Newly coined terms, particularly those in new technical fields, are added to the most common and most important terms and expressions currently in use.
