“But a language, even a foreign language, is something so intimate that it enters inside of us despite the fissure. It becomes a part of our body, our soul. It takes root in the brain, it emerges from our mouths. In time, it nestles in the heart.”

- Translating Myself and Others by Jhumpa Lahiri (2022)

広辞苑　「こうじえん」：  the most authoritative single-volume dictionary of　Japanese, literally “wide garden of words”

大辞林　「だいじりん」：  another single-volume dictionary created to　compete with Koujien. Literally “Great forest of words”  

漢和辞典　「かんわじてん」：  kanji dictionary  (general)

⇒大漢和辞典 「だいかんわじてん」　is the most definitive kanji dictionary, with over 50,000 characters, and 530,000 kanji compound words.
