Description
Excerpt from Sen Ji Mon: One Thousand Chinese Characters of Constant Occurrence in Japanese Literature; A New and Practical Method for Students of Japanese
There is a tendency perhaps, on the part of some students of Japanese, to underrate the importance of the study of Chinese characters. The literature of Japan abounds with these imported ideographs, and it need hardly be asserted that, without a knowledge of those in common use, the student is unable to read the ordinary works which are issued from the native press, unless it be with the assistance of his teacher.
The acquisition, however, of a number of these common characters, sufficient for practical purposes, is by no means an easy task; and yet by taking advantage of the labours of students in China, much may be done to facilitate the study, or at least to render it less formidable than it has generally been supposed to be.
