Rate this book
The origins of the Japanese writing system can be traced back to ancient China and the eighteenth century before the Christian era.
The Japanese write their language with ideograms they borrowed from China nearly two thousand years ago.Chinese ideographs were used both for their meaning and for their pronunciation in order to represent the Japanese language. Chinese logographs writing are records of divinations performed in communication with ancestral spirits.

The reading for Kanji is split into two major categories called kun-yomi and on-yomi. Kun-yomi is the Japanese reading of the character while on-yomi is based on the original Chinese pronunciation.Traditionally, East Asian script are written vertically in columns going from top to bottom and ordered from right to left.
