    Keywords: Culture & History

kanji 漢字 is the Japanese term for the Chinese characters used in the written Japanese language. They take on their own pronunciation and usage in Japanese, but they often have the same meaning as they do in Chinese.

To learn more, see Halpern's [ext] outline of the Japanese writing system.
