The national dictionary undergoes its first major revision in 10 years. The latest and most complete version is finally here!
[Content introduction] The latest edition of the national [Japanese language + encyclopedia] dictionary. The 6th edition has been completely revised to keep up with advances in academic research and changes in society. Added 10,000 new items and added new established meanings to existing items. Emphasis was placed on the interpretation of basic words and a review of classical usage examples, and in particular, the differences in meaning between synonyms were made easier to understand. Comes with a convenient separate appendix containing a dictionary of kanji and small characters.
[Features of the 7th edition] 1 Written by leading experts in various fields The items included in the 6th edition have been extracted by field and thoroughly proofread by experts from various fields. From literature and history to physics and medicine, art and music, martial arts and tea ceremonies, and sports and subcultures, we have updated this guide to reflect the latest trends and advances in academic research, and to provide more accurate and concise explanations. On the other hand, we have newly selected and written words that are essential for understanding modern life and various fields.
2 Look at changes in words and differences in meaning As the world changes rapidly, the meanings of words also change. We added just the right amount of new meaning while carefully examining its degree of retention. In addition, there are more opportunities to communicate words, and the need to accurately grasp and express the meaning of each word is also increasing. We have pursued word interpretations that will help you understand the differences in meaning between synonyms, mainly verbs and adjectives.
3 Review the basics of Japanese Kojien's style is to accurately grasp the basic meaning of words and then provide interpretations based on historical changes in meaning. We went back to the basics and thoroughly reviewed examples taken from classics such as ``Manyoshu'' and ``The Tale of Genji.'' Other ancient language items have also been enriched.
4 Added 10,000 new items (total number of items: 250,000 [including appendices]) In addition to the words collected after the publication of the 6th edition, we reconsidered words that were not included in previous editions, and carefully selected words that have become established in Japanese, or words that are thought to become established. Approximately 10,000 new items have been added. Because we live in an age where you can search for anything on the Internet, we have removed unnecessary words and added sophisticated interpretations so that you can read and understand the central meaning beyond the context in which the word is used.
5 Further improving the quality of paper and binding The 7th edition has 140 more pages than the 6th edition, but the thickness remains the same. This is the result of developing even thinner paper to fit within the 8cm limit of bookbinding machines. What's more, it retains the "slimy" feel that sticks to your hands and makes it easy to turn over. This book has been compiled into a single book using advanced printing and binding technology. The large "desktop version" is a two-part booklet that has been well received by many people.
