Kun homophones - native-Japanese words that are pronounced alike but are written with different kanji, and often differ in meaning-pose a particular challenge to students at the intermediate level. Words likenoboru or kaeru, for example, can be written with several different kanji, each contributing a distinct shade of meaning. The often-subtle nuances conveyed by kanji confuse even Japanese people, and very few dictionaries provide good guidance on kanji usage.

The Kodansha Kanji Usage Guide is a new type of reference work that enables learners to deepen their understanding of howkun homophones are used in contemporary Japanese. The first Japanese-English resource devoted exclusively tokun homophones, the book presents detailed usage articles that show the differences and similarities for 675 homophone groups, or 1590 kanji headings-the vast majority of single-characterkun homophones in current use.

With headwords arranged in Japanese a-i-ue-o order and thousands of illustrative examplesof kanji in context, the Usage Guide is at once a dictionary and a manual-an all-aroundresource for clarity on kanji used in kun homophones. Armed with this unique guide,learners will discover in kanji new meanings they never knew existed, and learn to writeJapanese more articulately than ever before.
