Something that surprised me was the word: "Shinkansen; 'Bullet Train'" (Eri 230). This implies that the Japanese language has it's own word for bullet train, instead of borrowing it from another language.

This textbook includes many definitions of kanji characters and their many uses, alternate spellings and how to write them. One kanji that I found unique was "Shin"(Eri 323), meaning new. One of the listed uses of Shin was in "Shinkansen" meaning Bullet Train.(This is from the 29th)
