JapanKnowledge Lib Support
JapanKnowledge has an identification system of the old kanji and kanji variants. Therefore, you will be able to search by the old kanji or new kanji. The standard of the identification of the new and old kanji is based on the "Joyo-kanji jitaihyo" (guide to kanji characters and their readings, announced officially by the Japanese Ministry of Education) and "Jinmei-kanji jitaihyo" (list of kanji that can legally be used in registered personal names in Japan).
Using machine dependent characters or extended kanjis, may cause garbled characters, and troubles in searching. Please do not use machine dependent characters and extended kanjis.
A permanent link is a URL which remains unchanged for every page, and allows to save for example a page in which you have searched a word and filtered the content, or share a content (entry). If you and another person are both members of JapanKnowledge, you will be able to share the URL of search results by e-mail or text files. The permanent link is also useful to bookmark pages.
The registered name, address, contact information and payment information is used for the purposes of content distribution, payment procedure and confirmation. The personal information will not be used for other purposes than the required administration and service of JapanKnowledge.
