Japanese Writing System
Kanji are adopted
Chinese characters used in modern Japanese writing system along with Hiragana
and Katakana. As of 2010, the Japanese Ministry of Education listed about 2,
136 regularly used kanji known as Jōyō kanji.It consists of 1,006
kanji taught in elementary and 1,130 kanji taught in high school. Foreigners
learning Japanese focus on this list. And Kanji Diary will keep records of these as I study along. I wonder when will I ever finish. :=) Ganbarimasu!
