| Research Abstract |
Japanese language learners always have difficulties to learn Kanji in foreign countries. We have tried making a resource of Kanji learning, and developing a system to provide it all over the world by WWW. There are a number of barriers to the dissemination of information in Japanese, including the difficulty of learning to read the complex writing system of Japanese, as well as the technological difficulty of processing and displaying the thousands of characters used to write Japanese.
The system we have developed in this project displays Japanese text using 90,000 GIF image files, thus allowing one to view arbitrary data in the Japanese language using any Internet browser with a graphical interface, thus avoiding the need to install any specialized Japanese software. A part of this system has been applied and accepted in a national project by the Ministry of economy, Trade and Industry. These results show that our study has not only academic value but also political views.
