Beneficial for kanji learners

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 28, 2015

What should have been a 4 or 5 star rating is only 3 because NTC;s claim of being "The Most In-depth and Authoritative Kanji Dictionary" is mere puffery and not a fact. I have completely forgotten what I was looking for that's not in the NTC dictionary. Whatever it was is in "The New Nelson," and Spahn/Hadamitzky "The Kanji Dictionary." Despite the fact that the dictionary is not complete, it is one that should be in every kanji learners library. The NTC, in addition to the Japanese kaisho kanji character and definitions, also contains examples of characters in cursive script styles. And, you can find the Chinese original character and name.

Simply the best

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 5, 2014

Verified Purchase

I own two copies, one I keep in the US, and the other in Japan. Just the best. The SKIP system never picked up popularity, but the sheer amount of information here is fantastic. If you're used to other systems or just interested in looking at Kanji in many different ways, the appendicies alone are worth the purchase. No other kanji book in English compares.

This was a gift to an old friend who had spent some years in Japan. He really likes it a lot so I think the dictionary must be pretty good.

I have used this dictionary for years, and while I have tried others, I keep coming back to it. The organization by the structure of the character (i.e. vertical or horizontal) with stroke count makes it easy to find unfamiliar characters with minimal effort. The example words are also extremely helpful!

It is perfect in every way and a real addition to my personal library. The only thing missing was the original jacket of the volume.

This is the fastest Japanese dictionary in town, thanks to its System of Kanji Indexing by Patterns (SKIP).

Finding this very useful and easy to deal with. I like to browse it also being a bit strange that way.

PS

Includes hand written forms

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

I appreciate this book even though Mr Halpern has updated his dictionariers. This book includes hand-written or calligraphic forms for characters: both cursive and semicursive. So if you are interested in these hand written forms this is one choice to choose. Otherwise this is the quality that Mr Halpern created and updates.
