Like <i>The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary</i>, and all of Jack Halpern's previous publications, <i>The Kodansha Kanji Synonyms Guide</i> is an innovative, authoritative, and impeccably-prepared resource that helps Japanese language learners deepen their knowledge of written Japanese, and provides educators, scholars, writers, and translators with an invaluable reference tool.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Editor-in-Chief <b>JACK HALPERN</b> is the CEO of The CJK Dictionary Institute (CJKI) in Japan.
