Kanji
PageType: Path   Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Opening

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.

See Japanese Go terms for the kanji used to write Go terms.


Jared: I have a little request. Could some knowlegable people post the kanji for Japanese Go terminology? It's fun to see the origin of the terms. The "te" in tesuji, for example, is the kanji for "hand/arm", but also for "move". Thanks.

Niklaus: You can look up the kanji for pretty much every go term at [ext] this multilingual go dictionary. Feel free to add them to SL's go term pages, I agree that it would be nice to have them there.
