Etymology of Japanese kanji - in-depth analysis of selected characters

ByPonte Ryuurui

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
“Etymology of Japanese kanji - in depth analysis of selected characters” is a book aimed at linguists, Chinese and Japanese language teachers, researchers and students, or anyone who is interested in the etymology and evolution of Chinese writing. The entire book is based exclusively on research of Japanese and Chinese literature, and my 14 years of studies of Chinese and Japanese calligraphy here in Tokyo. The book contains analysis of 50 selected characters, ca. 400 illustrations, which are actual historical forms of characters found in Chinese and Japanese classics between 1600 B.C.E and 19th century C.E. Knowledge on Far Eastern calligraphy is passed from the Master to his disciples, and the number of both is decreasing. I wholeheartedly hope that this book will help to preserve at least a small part of this wonderful tradition, and so it will not be lost or forgotten.
