to write the characters correctly and with in-
creasing understanding and enjoyment of their

calligraphic beauty.
4) Brief indications of the derivations of the

characters provide invaluable mnemonic aids to

character memorization.
5) In Part II, which also serves as a convenient

index of readings, all characters that share a

common visual element are grouped together
in such a way as to show which do and do not
also have a common reading. Thus the readings
of a number of different characters can be much

more easily learned at one and the same time.
In short, the book is well planned to achieve

its stated aim : to bring the student as quickly as
possible to the stage where, in reading and writ-
ing modern Japanese, he can largely dispense
with the time-consuming use of a character
dictionary. It also makes a compact and highly

useful reference work for anyone who has occa-

sion to use written Japanese.

P. G. O* NEILL, a native Londoner, is Profes-

sor of Japanese at the School of Oriental and
Alncan Studies, University of London, where
he also obtained his Ph.D. in 1957 with a thesis
on traditional Japanese drama. His publications

include Japanese Names, A Guide to No, Early
No Drama, An Introduction to Written Japanese
(with S. Yanada), and A Programmed Introduc-

tion to Literary-Style Japanese.
