After explaining the different forms of the Japanese writing system, this square book features double-page spreads with between ten and twelve words arranged by subject, including animals, food and drink (mostly Japanese), colors, and numbers. Each word has a small retro-style illustration, the English translation, the kanji (originally adapted from Chinese characters), the kana (syllabic writing symbols), and the English transliteration. An attractive offering.
