The first, kanji, consists of ideographs (symbols that each represent a concept, idea or thing as well as pronunciation, rather than a word or set of words) borrowed from Chinese, eg 本 (hon) for ‘book’, 娘 (mu·su·me) for ‘daughter’ and 日本語 (ni·hon·go) for ‘Japanese language’. The other two *s, hiragana and katakana, are syllabic, that is, each character represents a syllable. Hiragana is used to represen
