"Whether full-time students, business people, or casual readers,

all have felt the need for a compact, up-to-date, practical kanji

dictionary. Something that would fit into a shoulder bag or briefcase,

could be taken to class, or would sit unobtrusively on a desktop.

Kodansha's Essential Kanji Dictionary is precisely that dictionary, designed specifically to meet the needs

of the modern man and woman. It includes all of the 1,945 Joyo Kanji,

the core kanji recommended by the Japanese Ministry of Education for use

in Japanese newspapers and magazines. Knowing these kanji, the student

can recognize virtually every Chinese character appearing in the daily

press. And that is not all. This dictionary also features some 18,000

kanji compounds, both those with Chinese readings (on-yomi) and those

with Japanese readings (kun-yomi). These compounds have been carefully

selected for practicality, usefulness, and timeliness. The living

language has received exclusive priority, including such words as

""favoritism,"" and ""statute of limitations."" For those interested in

securities, stocks and bonds, and the diverse terminology of the

business world, related terms and jargon are clearly marked for easy

reference. Simply open the book and look for the Yen sign. There you

will find ""current price,"" ""aggregate market value,"" ""issue at market

price,"" and a great deal more. For those who want to write kanji, the

stroke order of each and every character has been duly noted. But more

important, the Essential Kanji Dictionary does its utmost to help the

reader locate the needed character. Aside from the traditional radical

chart on the back endpaper, there are three invaluable indices as well.

The first is by the reading of the kanji, either Japanese (kun) or

Chinese (on). The second is by radical, but not by traditional radical

alone. Also included are variants and near-misses, directing the reader

precisely to the right page. The third is by stroke number - if all else

fails, count the strokes and track the character down. With a copy of Kodansha's Essential Kanji Dictionary close at hand - with its definitions, stroke order, Chinese compounds,

Japanese compounds, business terminology, and three helpful indices -

the life of the typical student of Japanese should take a decided turn

for the better.
