"My copy of this is worn and frazzled, because I use it that often. It has never let me down. If you need a kanji dictionary, but don't relish the idea of lugging around the large & heavy unabridged/cross-referenced version, this is the one to choose. It's easy to use and very informative with helpful charts and indexes. Recommended to any student of Japanese language, from beginner to advanced." - Bookscan, " The Nelson Dictionary is a big contributor to our ability to study Japanese seriously and...to Japanese-American understanding." - Edwin O.

  • This dictionary is essential for all serious learners.

    After the beginning stages of learning Japanese, there arises a need for a dictionary arranged by Kanji. This one is medium-sized and a delight to use. A vertical list of radicals with x number of strokes is found on every page, making a character search very quick. However, being the compact version lesser-known characters are absent, as are words that are only written in kana. I would highly recommend this dictionary.
