Description

First Published in 1995. The nature of the Japanese script has been a matter of contention since the early Meiji period.

It was not until 1902, however, that the government was convinced of the need to simplify the written language.

The modernised system of kana usage and the guidelines on the use, shape and readings are thoroughly discussed in this book alongside the political nature of Japan's multiple written languages.

This title has involved interviews with many of the key players in the post-war period as well as research on the vast amount of primary source material on the topic.
