Nihon Essay and Zuihitsu
Gentosha Shinsho / Even though it is the Japanese language that I usually use freely (I feel like it), I can't stop wondering once I am worried about it. Who in the world created hiragana from kanji? Why is "Inazuma" not "Inazuma"? What is the law that "Gumi" is cloudy or not cloudy, such as "Ichigumi" and "Hanagumi"? How do you use many brackets such as ()【】 『 』? This is the second part of the popular series in which a group of language specialists and the National Institute of National Language Research gather wisdom to challenge familiar but deep mysteries. You can enjoy learning at the cutting edge of Japanese research with serious and humorous commentary!
