New Book: Identifying Japanese Cursive Script

[Markus]

It´s not really Nihonto related so I post this info in the translation section.

This latest work is a guide for all those who are struggling with identifying

cursive script (sôsho) characters in signaturey, may it be on tôsôgu, on

paintings, vases, etc. As the usual "identifying by number of strokes" cannot

be applied any longer, you have to go for the radicals. So this dictionary

provides several examples of how each radical appears in its cursive writing.

A match with the supposed radical of the cursive character takes you to the

page which lists characters grouped under that radical. This dictionary contains

approximately 5.300 characters, so it is very likely that the character you are

looking for is in there.

 

This time a paperback, a hardcover and an eBook version are available.

 

6 x 9", 472 pages, $ 44.90
