Kenkyusha's
New Japanese-English Dictionary
This is essential companion for the student of Japanese. This dictionary
includes 80,000 entry words, 160,000 compounds and expressions, and 50,000
example sentences. This dictionary goes above and beyond most general-use
dictionaries by including a fair selection of technical terms as well.
To top it off, this dictionary includes the katakana names of famous world figures, places, and works of art as well as the names of ministries and agencies in the Japanese government.
The headwords in this dictionary have been romanized to make it equally accessible to the hardened veteran as to beginner in Japanese. This is a dictionary that no serious student of Japanese should be without. Hardcover.
Kenkyusha's
New English-Japanese Dictionary
This dictionary can serve as a useful reference to the student of Japanese.
It allows double-look up of terms if you are looking for just that right
word when it cannot be found in any other resources.
No other E-J dictionary is in the same league as this reference. It contains 230,000 headwords, making it a superior resource. Hardcover.
NTC's
New Japanese-English Character Dictionary
NTC's New Japanese-English Character Dictionary features an easy-to-use,
quick lookup system for looking up kanji characters using the pattern
and also has indexes for lookup by the character's reading and stroke
count. Moreover, compound examples are not limited to compounds where
the kanji character appears first.
In addition to a core meaning, this dictionary also provides the wide range of diverse meanings for each character. This is useful if you need to infer the meaning of a certain compound which is not listed in any dictionary. This is also a tremendous aid for gaining a complete grasp of a kanji character and its compounds.
NTC's dictionary
contains 4421 entry characters, including 834 cross-reference characters.
This is considerably less than the number of characters in Nelson's Dictionary.
For most students of Japanese, this should suffice. However, users who
can read Japanese may want to use NTC's dictionary in combination with
a kan-wa jiten (kanji character-Japanese dictionary) having at least 10,000
characters if they frequently encounter non-joyo kanji.
Hardcover. 2220 pages.
