Japanese Culture: Japanese Letters Here introduced is japanese culture mainly relating to japanese festivals now on construction stage. Japanese Edition Japanese culture http://www.watanabegumi.co.jp/jpculture/letters/letters.html
Extractions: Japanese did not have letters until chinese introduced their letters in second or third century. After then we japanese are using chinese letters. Of course ancient japanese used these letters for learning chinese progressed culture. As you know, chinese letters are basically ideograms that were originally pitograph and every single letter has its own meaning. For example, the letter for turtle is . This letter is simplified one as compared to original one but still the shape of turtle is obvious. I do not know how many chinese letters are there, probably more than hundred thousands. Roughly saying, average japanese can read letters of 5,000 or more but can write down 2,000 or less. At elementary school and junior high school, 1,800 of letters are taught. Chinese letters are used of course in China and in Japan and also in Korea. Chinese use chinese letters only. In Japan, as we are doing nowadays too, the chinese invented letters were arranged otherwise to form a group of letters expressing sounds. Therefore, japanese have ideograms and phonograms. The phonogram letters were contrived in eigth century. Before that time, ancient people used a group of chinese letters as phonograms very hard to read.
